"The digital age has dissolved traditional spatial conceptions, spawning unlimited potential for global communication networks and redefining privacy and closeness to exclude physical intimacy. By merging physical and virtual space, can design encourage a new platform for interaction?" Envisioning the new frontier of socialization, the research Lab Nonlinear Solutions Unit proposed the interactive installation Social Cave. While entering in the 100% recycled foam Cave, visitors are invited to interact with the projected 'shadow' of the visitor beyond the barrier wall, initiating a conversation that transcends traditional digital-physical boundaries.
