In a world where digital decisions are as constant as they are imperceptible, Can It Be? OK! (2014) proposes a reflection on user autonomy in virtual navigation. The work starts from the aesthetics of the digital interface to question to what extent we choose what we consume or simply follow already programmed paths.
The phrase "CAN IT BE? OK," extracted from the interactive vocabulary of confirmation windows, transforms into a visual icon of the digital experience, where limited options shape quick, almost automatic decisions. The project materializes through the transposition of this window into physical space, creating a hybrid between languages, where the virtual invades the real.
At the center of the work is a 1.20m x 80cm poster, installed on an abandoned building with concreted windows. This action redefines the structure, proposing a new window—not physical but symbolic—that invites reflection on the nature of choices in the digital environment. The possibility of "opening" this new window is amplified by the use of a QR CODE, which connects the viewer to the video of the work, extending the experience beyond the physical medium.
Pode ser ? Ok (Lambe 1,20 x 80m) 2014.
Building a hybrid between languages, the window of the virtual environment takes shape in a physical environment, becoming some studies in lambes and projection. Through the QR CODE the viewer is directed to the video link.
In addition to the poster, Can It Be? OK! expands its concept through studies in digital projection and urban interventions, reinforcing the idea that virtuality is not just an environment but a state of perception.
The work dialogues directly with the logic of digital interaction but transports it to public space, where the viewer becomes an agent of the work by interacting with it.
If all navigation depends on choices, to what extent do you really decide what you see?
