Intimacy is a curious consideration in our times. While COVID-19 restrictions have prevented us from not only being intimate – but within close proximity – the flipside is that some of the most intimate aspects of our personal lives have been exposed on public domains, from obsessive driven hobbies to bedrooms-come-offices in zoom conferencing.
Much also has been said of the lack of ‘intimacy’ felt in online programming. While it has been a savour to the sanity of many to bring culture directly into our homes via a digital pivot, most agree that the experience of sitting with an art work in a gallery, or in a theatre, is hard to replicate.
