As an antidote to loneliness, Eugenio Ampudia bases his proposal on two of the alternatives that have proliferated most in recent years: urban gardens and the adoption of pets from animal shelters.
Today, there is no city that does not have one of these spaces, which are intended not only to raise awareness of the need to care for the environment and promote healthier lifestyles, but also as spaces for collaboration and socialization.
Ampudia sets up a video system to broadcast live the work of the animal adoption association Salvando Peludos (Saving Furry Friends) of the Arroyomolinos City Council, which helps abandoned dogs and cats, as well as rescuing animals that have been abused.
Not without irony, this allowed visitors to the exhibition La NO Comunidad (The Non-Community)—and those who accessed it online—the opportunity to participate in the shelter and even interact with the people there, without having to travel, enjoying the animals at the center and their care remotely, through OTT channels (audio-video services and other content via the internet).
