Six Squared

Six Squared is an interactive audio visual application which explores notions of fragmentative intimacy. In an intense recording, participants were invited to express their greatest fears and the accompanying memories associated with them. These fears are divulged in the application itself; a grid of squares conceal snippets of performers as they reveal a part of themselves. A subtle juxtaposition of the exposed and the obscured is created in a linear dialogue between audio and video. Fragments of all performers fears and face ultimately culminate in a grotesque human visage, a multitude of faces and fears. Faces can be clicked by users to further explore combinations of features and highlighting of dialogue.
