Bogotá, ciudad de memoria

Centro de Memoria, Paz y Reconciliación de Bogotá

An interactive map navigated with the body: motion capture reads the visitor’s movements to explore 360° images of around 80 locations in Bogotá.

Five activities make up the experience: visiting places of memory, leaving virtual offerings, cleaning spaces, making graffiti and joining virtual protest marches.

The installation operated for four years. Nothing remains of it today.

Commission through Omotio, the company of which Carlos Adrián Serna was a founding partner and Director of Research and Development.
