"I'll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo” is an interactive installation in which a mountain of virtual bodies, clones of the artist’s 3D scanned body, fill an entire real wall. Once the maximum amount of bodies is reached, and the wall space is too tight for them, the installation “reset” itself by deleting the avatars one by one and start a new cycle. These virtual bodies constantly search for a real person to establish a connection, they try to look at whoever is in front of them but this simple gesture is destined to fail due to digital glitches.
