Touch screen is a device used to create a visual space. Similar to the sheet used as a child constructs his/her imaginary house inside a bed, this fabric or sheet becomes a screen the moment it intercepts video projections, becoming a device
through which the act of seeing becomes a spatial gesture defining intimate zones with other spectators.Touch screen is the spatialization that mutates around one’s audiovisual perception, an invitation to construct an intimate visual space, but can also be a place for random encounters, brush up against each other, hide and touch each other, underneath the sheets, so to speak.
