01100110 considers a fifth dimension of space, in which distance is complicated as the result of modern technologies; while physically far away from one another, do technologies like video-calling bring us closer together? Or do they only create an illusion of close proximity?
In other words: what really constitutes a sense of closeness?
This series consists of portraits taken over video-calls, altered physically to complicate the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the near and far.
