Performance Situation Room is a performative digitalized installation accessible on www.4culture.ro through the Performance Situation Room web application. - http://www.4culture.ro/performance-situation-room-webapp/ 

Performance Situation Room is a space for reflection, which gives the opportunity to performers, players and to the public to test and apply spontaneously new formats and new sceneries in a virtual space, through games and experimentation. When all the social, public professional and cultural live spaces are disappearing one by one from our routine, reuniting in a unique private space, what happens to our perception on time and environment?

The proposed concept introduces a new possible scenario by questioning the different levels of reality and the relationship between image representation and time. Situated at the convergence between art and technology, the performative space develops new virtual dimensions accessible to the general public through an interactive web application. The performers and their audience share the same virtual space, exploring new versions of the temporal existance.

This new visual perspective of the digital space – as the main medium of artistic manifestation in the pandemic period that we are facing, it offers new possible ways of artistic expression and conceptual approach, and above all, the opportunity for common exploratory collaborations.
