“R L X:tech” is a contemporary relaxation studio, providing guided meditations designed to alleviate many common psychosocial-media ailments. Geck is interested in the anxieties that are generated by connectivity. A new language of interaction is evolving and the emerging codes can be confusing, unpredictable and tiresome. In her installation, Geck looks at the ways users might attempt to manage these anxieties through the very platforms that trigger them. How does the immaterial shape the material and how do social media affect us physically and sensorially?
