The Space Between Us

Interactive Installation & Print Series

The Space Between Us is an interactive real-time digital video installation and print series that visualises the shifting geometry of social space. As visitors move before a large LED screen, their positions are tracked and translated into dynamic networks of lines, tracing geometries that resemble nets, webs, or curved planes suspended in mid-air.

The work draws on the language of Barbara Hepworth’s stringed sculptures, which use taut lines to articulate volume and spatial relationships. In this digital context, those lines are reimagined as light-based connections—fleeting, reactive, and perpetually in motion.

This piece is part of an ongoing exploration into emergent phenomena—where simple rules give rise to unexpected complexity. In this case, the simple act of drawing straight lines between points in 2D space gives rise to an illusion of depth, curvature, sculptural presence, and architectural complexity—belying the simplicity of its generative logic.

The installation reveals how we are all connected, even as strangers. It gives form to the invisible relationships that arise through proximity and co-presence, highlighting the space between us not as a void, but as a site of potential: for interaction, recognition, and collective authorship.

By inviting strangers to move, pause, and respond together, The Space Between Us becomes not just a visual experience, but a social one—reminding us that the spaces we inhabit are shaped not only by architecture or technology, but by each other.

The print series captures frozen moments in time from the installation.
