R U HERE featured a workshop, which invites pairs of participants (parent and child, couples, close friends) to enter an installation in the education room of Saatchi Gallery and sit in the setting of a home environment. During the workshop, participants will only communicate with one another using instant messaging, following instructions given to them via earphones. 

Part of the process of the work is to let participants experience the digital impact upon the sense of togetherness and co-presence between cyberspace and physical space. 

After the experience, there will be a discussion session about the understanding of the impact of digital communication and how it affects our daily life.
