About

the space in between is a playful, interactive, audiovisual installation that invites the viewer to explore their relationship with digital and physical spaces. The artwork responds to movement in real time, creating a dynamic network of shared pathways generated by people’s actions. The digital traces left behind allow you to form bonds with others or choose to disconnect and walk your own path. It is a place where you can seek connection or find the absence of it.

Technology has the capability to bring people together, but it can also isolate and divide us. It is this contradiction that interests artist Roelof Knol in exploring the environments we inhabit and how we navigate within them using interactive technologies. He constructs spaces where personal and collective moments can happen simultaneously, thoughtfully creating an encounter where participants can feel connected in a unique shared experience.

The soundscape for this artwork was created in collaboration with Don Diablo. This exhibition is part of the series PROJECT SPACE—an initiative that supports emerging and established artists in expanding their practice. Organized by Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA) and curated by Julie Ganas, curator of engagement and digital initiatives.
