An immersive journey into human’s limbo between nature, our roots, and technology, our invention. Midway overlaps three real time projections that represent three different temporalities: a microspcope image of a leave, a rain of X messages and the visitors shadows. 

What does it mean to exist in between a high-tech environment that is rapidly changing and the disobedient nature, our creation and our origin? In an era where the climate crisis is getting increasingly urgent and technology is on the verge of surpassing human intelligence, people seem to be trapped in this intermediate condition. In a way, our inability to relate to either of these phenomena reveals our disconnection not only from our surroundings but also from our starting point. We no longer feel one with nature, but we cannot keep up with technology either.


By projecting real-time footage of data and nature, “Midway” invites the visitors to explore this sensation of being alienated between the slow nature and the accelerated technology and act as a mediator between them. In that sense, the installation attempts to turn this unsettling feeling of existing in between into a game of introspection.
