Sharing Senses

During the pandemic we experienced a transformation of standard methods of communication, with a significant increase in online interaction.

The workshop “Sharing Senses” aims to share senses with participants online, through our computer screens. Participants will explore the possibility of sharing senses in separate three-dimensional spaces by using a two-dimensional screen and online communication.

Number of participants (limit): 5-8 people
