90% of free time is spent alone: the paradox of a hyperconnected society that meets less and less

TL;DR

  • Hyperconnectivity has led people to spend 90% of their free time on individual activities.
  • Convenience and digital alternatives have reduced the importance of in-person experiences.
  • Mallplaza's 'Salir es vivir' initiative aims to promote physical encounters and social interaction.
  • 'The Cloud Swing' is an interactive installation that requires shared participation to achieve its full effect.
  • The installation will be at Mallplaza NQS from April 15 to May 9, encouraging people to connect and share.
