VIRTUAL OCCUPATION

N’UNDO (BASED IN SPAIN)
VIRTUAL OCCUPATION, 2014

Asocial policies, irresponsible urban planning strategies, unsustainable, speculative or delirious interventions have filled and continue filling towns and cities with inaccessible spaces in disuse.
The workshop, Virtual Occupation, proposes the projection of images of emblematic abandoned, disused or physically inaccessible spaces, and the projection of the citizens present at the workshop on the inside of these spaces, inhabiting them.
The result is an incomplete experience which reflects in the need to know and recover these spaces created for citizens; generating action, proposals and utopias of reality as an universal experience on how to configure the new city of opportunity spaces.
