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.
