Abstract (2 lines extruded)

to bridge a gap* in two senses/ways -

[
1.) the cause of distance created by "the very proximity of self and machine creates an insurmountable distance between self and world" (Taylor, 198)

2.) the possibility of reducing distance of physical space

*the gap: is what exists when individuals retreat into a digital/virtual/online existence to the degree that their relationships with people and space is rendered inconsequential

*the gap: is a consequence of economy, politics & culture where a distance of physicality AND information sets people further apart than is actually quantifiable
]

by an architectural object/intervention, harnessing digital technology, acting as a node on a network, maybe its own network, making the private public; drawing people to it physically, to experience it together, at a public site, a physical node, challenging the barriers of public/private/social/economic/in/out.

Considerations:
- multiple locations
- temporal
- exhibition
