Digital barriers in XXI century communications. | Digital barriers in XXI century communications era. Which are our first impressions to meet someone of a different culture?, perhaps awkwardness, how do we behave? there are behavioral patterns in the people of the same culture. | ||
How we meet people?, how do we greet in different cultures? In which situations we feel more, or less comfortable with ourselves or with other people that surround us, is the space between us something that matters?. | |||
According to psychological and anthropological investigations in the field of human behavior and proxemics certain things counts when you relate to people, for example a handshake, a hug or a kisses on the chick; these simple things tells so much about us and where do we come from and who we are in a certain way; keeping this in mind I developed an interactive installation combined with a performance to try to meet and greet people but at the same time make them feel uncomfortable. | |||
The performance explores the concept of personal space and how do we break or adapt into different situations according to our cultural background. | |||
I want to provide a test field to make people a little bit uncortable and also break those barriers. sharing something about my cultural background as simple the way we greet it's easy and says a lot of us; when someone feels threatened or not very comfortable try to avoid contact, it's easier in really small places as elevators or corridors to see this type of behavior. | I want to provide a test field to make people a little bit uncortable and also break those barriers. sharing something about my cultural background as simple the way we greet it's easy and says a lot of us; when someone feels threatened or not very comfortable try to avoid contact, it's easier in really small places as elevators or corridors to see this type of behavior. | ||
