Delicate Boundaries, Chris Sugrue, US


Digital technologies are integrating more and more with our everyday lives as the boundaries between virtual and real get closer.

The Delicate Boundaries installation creates a space where the goings-on within our digital devices are capable of stepping out into the physical world: small insects made of light jump out of the screen towards the spectators and make contact. As the two systems try to fathom each other out, they create a new realm of responsibilities, intimacy and boundaries between virtual and real.
