METAPRESENCIA
// Description
METAPRESENCIA is an invitation to re-think our foundations on the difference between presence and virtuality, activating devices for bonding with an other (otrx) or others.
It is a small error hunt, a port without a defined protocol, a space without foreign gravity.
It arises from the questions opened by METAESPACIOS, its predecessor, born in a 100% virtual environment. This time the work deals with the concept of Presence and how it unfolds today, after the pandemic brought new ways of relating: the new possibilities, and the reformulated ones, of being present through virtual and in-person means.
METAPRESENCIA aims to reach an ALPHA phase of the work, where individual and collective neo-presence is experienced and reflected on together. The work is activated simultaneously in physical and virtual space.

«What does it mean to be present when we can be in two places at once?»
// Two places at once
Move the pointer across the physical half: the virtual one repeats it with a delay, mirrored and with errors.
