the "identity construction", or the "construction   of the   other",   is   often a   consequence   of either hetero-determination, stereotypical associations or fear! an  image of a  human action that lacks factual / rationalized explanation, could lead to an a-priori conclusion, of a hostile action. "micrOrgiastic subjective ritual" attempts to explore and analyze the naturalization of any simplification or aphorisms,  giving  prominent  importance  to the reactions rather than the  actions that triggered them. a video is playing,  while  a camera  is recording  the reactions of the spectators. this  material  is  sent to  a  laptop, in   real-time,   placed  in   an   adjacent  corner. images from the reactions could also be captured, as an extra part of the interaction.
