Internet cafes, offices, or public workshops often have the potential to bring people socially closer to each other. In reality, it sometimes works the other way around. People who sit next to other people, seek contact through an imaginary world instead. By the world of the Internet, where the physical and the distance have no interest and this mainly through the paradox: the social media. The cold light of the fluorescent bulbs inside the sculpture and industrial gypsum concrete blocks address a situation in society.
A small detail gives this cold atmosphere a lot of humanity. A small slide or drawer that is still carelessly open, breaks through the clean or highly mathematical environment. In addition, the space is selected so that it is part of the sculpture. The round arches give the overall picture a certain bond or a warm human presence.
