Our Shared Scenario is a project for the exploration of new common spaces for interaction.
Its intention is to link different groups of participants, located in different places on the planet and through the internet.
In this case, the connection would not be made between people anchored to their seats in front of a computer monitor, but instead the communication technology would be used to establish a window from which both groups could look out, get to know each other and carry out the task together. creative approach in this project, through the fully immersive and real-time interaction that telepresence allows.
The most representative part of all this may seem to be the performance phase, where the participants will become actors who will express with their whole body the drawings they will have obtained in a previous phase. However, this will only be the crystallization of a previous process, of a relational laboratory destined to establish the bases so that complicity between the two groups becomes a reality, and in this way answer a whole series of questions:
Where does recognition of the other as an equal begin?
What will it take to feel the presence of the other beyond the corporeal?
Is corporeality a condition for establishing mutual respect or is it possible to establish other forms of presence that children feel are fully valid?
Art is the ideal way to answer these questions, fundamental questions for a better understanding of the time in which adults are entering, but in which children have already been born immersed. It is theirs, therefore, from whom we can best seek answers.
The project, done with Enric Socias, was made thanks to an artistic residence in Mediaestruch, Sabadell, and the first experience was made at the same time htere and in Medialab Prado, in Madrid.
