Inauguration of individual exhibition "So close and yet so far" in The Netherlands

After being selected for the ARE Holland residence in Enschede, the pandemic made it impossible to attend personally. Instead, the project evolved into sending a robot rover that I controlled from Monterrey, inhabiting, exploring and coexisting from the physical and electronic possibilities that the situation and the technology allowed. This experiment as a resident artist from a robot also addresses the alterations in the human experience due to the untimely increase in the use of the internet as a substitute space in times when public space was not accessible. The exhibition with the documentation of this experience opens this July 10th, 2021 at 5:00 PM (Dutch time) at XPO Project Space.
