# PLUG: A real-time visualization of life

Installation exhibited at the MNAC National Art Museum of Catalonia, within the Mobile Week Barcelona 2017.

​

 

The internet and network collaboration models have fueled our ability to act as a common entity. They have given us the possibility of being one, shared emotion, thought and action. They have given us the possibility of being part of a whole, with what this entails, the possibility of defining our system and society, highlighting our values. Unfortunately, more times than we would like to, we mistakenly rely on a physical device to feel part of this larger thing. There are currently more mobiles than human beings on planet earth.

​

 

Our mobile phone is in many cases the obvious and direct link with this network, but: what use do we make of it? Do we exploit its capabilities as a tool to give life to this network or does it end up being a focus of procrastination? Do we really use our ability to decide what matters to us and what doesn't? #PLUG It is a piece that visualizes the life of a hashtag in real time through Twitter. What impact does a death have? The less the hashtag is used, the less life and less importance for the values ​​that this person represents in our society.
