Description
“It feels like home” is an online intervention that uses the synthetic space of the browser as a stage to unfold an interactive, performative and generative virtual experience. Experimenting with the notion of time during a pandemic and isolation, “It feels like home” reflects on the site-specificity within the virtual as well as the offline spaces, while it goes through hourly and algorithmic transformations, becoming a performative process that continuously produces unexpected and unpredictable results that depends on each visitor’s offline time-zone. The work reveals the artist’s personal experience of the pandemic, locked inside and constantly online and how her notions of time, home and personal space felt in constant change and contradiction, helplessly transient.

“It feels like home” was commissioned by HeK (House of electronic Arts Basel) for the series of online artworks “HeK Net Works”.
