Are We All Here? Exploring Embodied Virtuality Today examined digital connectivity, intimacy, and isolation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bringing early net art into dialogue with contemporary works and lived online experiences, the project questioned how digital technologies reshape relationships between humans and non-humans. The three-part exhibition connected the OnCurating Project Space, a temporary digital platform, and an accompanying programme. Central works by Eduardo Kac and Corpos Informáticos explored telepresence, participation, and the boundaries between physical and virtual encounters.
