Polibek is questioning where and how physical contact contacts, feeling and humanity have their place in the contemporary disembodied social network and mass media culture. The installation is forcing a close and unusual relation between the “user-lover-emergency rescue worker” and intimate media messages asleep in a cold 3D digital body. He/her can enter that private space by taking a latex mask in her/his hands and blowing into its mouth to  apply a kind of artificial respiration and help to awake or bring back to life feelings, remembers, thoughts, excitement and warmness in representation.

Techniques: 3D game engine, latex mask augmented with sensors, MIDI/OSC protocols, Audio-Video sequences and processing.
