In the digital era, communication is triggered by algorithmic impulses, which are beyond our control and develop their own grotesque, yet invisible momentum.
This spatial installation is a stage in which visitors play dual roles. As space reacts to humans – and humans to space – the spectacle that comes to life is mirroring the digital echo chamber, a phenomenon that came to life when digital and social media became dominant means of communication.
Architecture becomes present in the gaps between light and sound. It becomes a space of desire, located within the space of the exhibition, in which the spectator becomes at once actor, performer, interpreter, and translator.
