Punto Medio
The community perceives itself as authors and responsible for the system in which it lives.
Punto medio proposes to intervene in the public space to create, through virtual windows, start communication bridges between different parts of Mexico City.
It is a virtual space where people can express their problems and thoughts related to social inequality while visualizing the reality that is on the other side of the window.
It seeks to use empathy as a trigger for awareness that leads to responsibility and in turn to action.
In addition, the set of "windows" placed in the city will make it possible to map social sentiment as well as the problems of each postal code, thus allowing a more critical analysis at the end of the intervention.
