Abstract

After Chilean social outbreak and restriction by Covid19, San Borja park would be unused. Given this, a community reproduced the park in Minecraft creating its own version: BorjaCraft. So two parks coexist in one environment, separate but forming part of a place. When entering or leaving the space, turning the digital on or off, the public experience happens between online and offline. If the characteristics of online and offline space were linked, how would the public sphere of a place be expanded? This puts in check the understanding of the public depending on space or format where it is inhabited.
