BEAUTIFUL_TOUCH (creation)

BEAUTIFUL_TOUCH (3rd iteration), operating like a full-scale laboratory, explores human systems and perception structures with emphasis on aspects of self-referentiality and co-existence. As an observer of ourselves and increasingly observed by others and machines, we realize that our personality is finally a construction related to representations in loops, and always related to other systems of perception – “I exist through you and you exist through me.”

In this context, each participant onsite and virtual participants (connected by the internet) can influence and manipulate the installation with his smartphone. Then, each one will be confronted with the results and will react according to the perception scheme – reflection – reaction – perception etc. Everyone will be part of a global system where disturbances (e.g. the virtual public will see only part transmitted through a live web camera, communications by text, overlapping actions…) will create friction in real / virtual interactions, moments of surprise and reconstruction of personalities.
