With the project #microfugas, Set Experimental® will attempt to portray how unspoken relations between individuals is becoming increasingly virtual, ignoring the social physical contact. Within the framework of its residency at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, Set Experimental® will promote a digital environment in which the virtual meeting is close to the maximum of physical reality. Indeed, #microfugas consist in a video installation where it will be possible to have a real time conversation with people from other part of the world in one place: the gallery. Within this space, four seats - three with computers on it and one for the visitor - will be installed around a table. A webcam will be mounted on the ceiling of the gallery to send the visitor’s participation while each computer will also be connected to a webcam, allowing interaction between the various protagonists of the experience. With this project, Set Experimental® aims to enforce an emerging trial in our society : the clash between the virtual and the real relationships.
