The concept of Zea Mays installation represents the interaction between the online and the physical world, including the observers, to the maximum possible extent. Silence is a fundamental aspect of the performance: it has a strong symbolic meaning when related to violence, as the survivors of violence often feel isolated from the world. Online spaces
enhance this isolation and a person closed in a virtual circle has fewer and fewer true friends: do our virtual friends react to violence? Do observers react to what they see?
The performance treats online violence and the presence of female bodies online through a multimedia approach using lights and sound.
