Interactive digital exhibition: An inquiry into the limits of telepresence during the COVID-19 lockdown
What We Share allows users to feel a sense of connection by physically touching the same virtual space. Linking fingers through the Share interface creates a sense of closeness with others, yet the impassible barrier of the screen remains.
Inspired by the COVID-19 lockdown, What We Share brings attention to the components of human connection that are preserved and lost through virtual space. Awareness of what is missing brings users’ attention to all that human connection can include. What We Share uses a web server hosted through Glitch.com that tracks the multitouch points from all current users. I capture this information and generate a web of attenuated connection between all touchpoints.
With the end of support for Glitch in 2025, What We Share was lost along with it.
