Project Feature: Distances
#DLECTRICITY presents “Distances” by Scenocosme: Gregory Lasserre and Anais Met Den Ancxt, interactive artwork that virtually brings together people who are not able to touch physically. This artwork was born in April 2020 in response to the Coronavirus crisis that forced us to physically and socially distance.
In this installation, 2 persons in 2 separate physical spaces are filmed in real time by 2 devices, where they are invited to have contact virtually within the same image bringing them together face to face. The images of their faces, their hands are attracted and create unique ephemeral meetings with the other. This artwork is participatory in its creative process for the 2 visitors interacting at the same time. It will be projected outside the Detroit Institute of Arts tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday at DLECTRICITY!
