PRESENCE IN BED made its debut to the an inclusive public for NYCxDesign 2023. A one week exhibition and intimate event, featuring scheduled live meditations
and performances by Annabelle Schneider in-between the digital and
physical sheets. Thought provoking, progressive and raising questions how technology can be a
guide to find ourselves present in the phyiscal space and what manipulations
the built environment requires to continue the dialogue.
Ask yourself “what do I have today what do I have to do to make myself happy. Depression comes when you are focusing about the past. Anxiety brews when you think about the future. Let go those thoughts and live in the present.”
