At the same time, we observe the overuse of technologies and social media in all fields, as they can involve various types of actors in different parts of the world. In our case, in this exhibition Pandemic Community we wanted to generate a context of a hybrid multimodal and transnational network, where we find artists from different countries, ages, sexes, as well as from different backgrounds.
