Interaction People entering the space, will be able to move around and explore the installation. The position of the installation’s components, the screens, and their contents will be influenced by the people in the room. The installation “locks” on some of the people entering, allowing them to see, from three special points in the room, one complete painting, out of the fragmented pieces, for a very short amount of time. The movement of the installation is not only influenced by the physical presence of people approaching it. The screens are fixed to servomotors whose movement is also influenced by the opinions expressed over internet through social networks (facebook, twitter) and websites discussing the theme of women’s rights. A software crawler monitors how the themes of violence, emancipation and self-determination are debated through posts, news, discussion threads. Depending on the amount of discussions generated over the internet, which are in turn represented as input to the installation, the servomotors and therefore the screens orient themselves. The metaphor of this interaction is that you can contribute to compose an harmonious picture of the complex world of women’s rights, by actually getting close to that world, represented by the installation, and by confronting with the opinions of other people debating the theme world while. Our common effort can help to compose a coherent picture.
