Facing Others
free entrance anytime possible
Digital communication overcomes boundaries, opens up opportunities, and creates friendships. But through this means do we really go outside of our bubble? With whom can we and do we want to communicate and who has access to cross-border contact? Thereby is the «Digital Natives» generation really more open and unprejudiced and where does the threshold of the comfort zone lie?
Facing Others is a social experiment that serves to create a space that overcomes the Impossible: the Impossible created through societal structures, the fear of the foreigner, and based in maintaining individual comfort. During the experiment, the visitor has the opportunity to chat with a completely different person and using a software program to create an avatar of the other person, a person with whom she or he would otherwise never come into contact, a person who is one of the most vulnerable and isolated human beings in our society.
Come and leave your comfort zone – face the other!
