| Rania Bellou The constructed room is for me a space with distances and directions involved, and as long as my body as a viewer and creator threads run out towards it, since there would be no space if I had no body. By considering the body in movement, in our situation through the video images, we can see better how it inhabits space and time. Many representations which “occlude” the understanding of space come from semiology, notably the thesis according to which social space results in a simple marking on imprinting of natural space, leaving traces. To live a space could be an action of placing yourself for a moment in an imaginary situation, to find satisfaction in changing one’s “setting”. But it’s really difficult to enter into a fictitious situation without converting it into a real one. Controlled by these ideas, I am trying to create a space which encloses -and does not encircles- spectators in the showroom, it makes them feel that they are merging into their senses, in an experiment of interaction between them and the artwork, between reality and illusion, between real and fictitious. Interactivity reopens a dialogue, recognizing that a process of creation or of information is not complete without the assumption of responsibility on the part of the user, who is no longer just a spectator but a producer of an experience. A new sense of responsibility for the artist who no longer designs a work of art but elicits behaviors, gestures, reactions which will expand the creative side of the technology and make us see things from a new point of view.
