- description: In January 2020, Documenta Studies invited me to give a performative talk for their event <a href="https://documenta-studien.de/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://documenta-studien.de/en&source=gmail&ust=1598993301821000&usg=AFQjCNGoa4rkp2jrWkd41E_D8l-vqe2ftg">“learning unlearning”</a> in Kasel, just a couple of months before the COVID19 protocols of social distancing came to be. By the time the talk was supposed to happen, being together in a common space was prohibited.
This VR situation allowed us to share a space without being physically at the same building, city or even continent. The talk takes form as a space with installation of audiovisual content, the audience is “present” as avatars with freedom of movement as well as the freedom to talk, interact and add to the room and the experience.
