Untitled (Take Me to the River) addresses the gap produced in interpersonal relationships developed within the media landscape, and specifically within the cybernetics.
Take Me puts in confront the virtuality of contacts made via net with an expectant bodily matter, permeable to imminent linking’s. The hypothesis of concretion of the affective dimension is – and thus always – mediated by the previous selection of cultural and technological interfaces, but whose evanescence dilutes the borders and lead it to the River.
