About the work
MetaCampo
Interactive virtual experience
“The border will be like a tenuous field of chamomiles” – Elder Silva
There is a replica of Pueblo Garzón in the virtual plane. We walked through its streets to confirm that the 30 blocks, each construction and every public space is in its exact place. In MetaCampo, the population grows exponentially, the species multiply and metamorphose rapidly, some characters return from the past. Borders dissolve and the undergrowth grows between the virtual and reality. The whistle announces the train arriving at the station.
