Non-space I (the degrading idea of home) - This work seeks to displace and reformulate the social aspect of the WebVR space. Employing verticality, mirroring as well as dislocation of the voice and images of viewer inhabited avatar bodies, it teases out other possibilities of social interaction to be explored. Concept and realization: Commonolithic.

You are the crossroad of your memories - Born from clay and modelled in 3D, this installation is composed by a virtual room, a performance program and a digital publication. Its shape, inspired by the moringa, an object used by aboriginal peoples for storing and cooling water, is a reminder and an invitation: a reminder that without its union with natural elements, our existence would not be possible; and an invitation to play with the porosity of memory, identity and body. Concept and realization: Pedra Silva, Garu e Rodrigo Lopes.
