The Space Expanding Room: AFAAB in VR - The virtual Ant Farm Antioch Art Building is a digital space constructed from 1971 archival architect’s drawings. In this virtual space, avatars can meet, chat, graffiti, attend events, and make art, just as students were once able to interact in the real space, before it was abandoned in 2008. An AFAAB production. Concept, curating, and direction by Catalina Alvarez and Liz Flyntz. Construction and design by Ty Clapsaddle.

In opposition to the objects collected from the rubble of Providência, the archaeological finds that a century ago had been thrown there as leftovers now performed singularity, flaunting the strength of those who, in a gesture of insubmission to gravity and oblivion, had returned to the surface.

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.
