BACKGROUND

 

We no longer have any physical and geographical limitations. We have the opportunity to be present in several places at the same time.

We hit the pause button, above the stop button, we are always on standby.

Media and technology are an integral part of our everyday lives, but our behavior determines how we experience it.

 

 

IDEA

 

Visualizing the connection to the media that surounds us. Stepping into the installation area and you will find abstract objects and shapes projected directly on the floor.

The different objects illustrates devices and their activities, respectively. When you cross the floor the objects will follow you and you can interact with them depending on how fast you move.
