The Premise
A day in the life in major cities, millions of strangers can be found passing within inches of each other – in subway stations, sidewalks, on public streets. We are a network of strangers moving in such close proximity that occasionally it becomes a dehumanized experience.
The Idea
This installation explores how crowded cities influence our sense of personal space, through a real-time interactive environment that tracks our spatial data. It examines how our mental barriers are fluid, adaptable, and eventually meant to be broken, such that our sense of space is widened through the interaction with others.
