NO REPLY ZONE (NRZ) is an artwork that instigates us through: 

The phrase NO REPLY ZONE 

The experience of NO ACCESS TO VIRTUAL INFORMATION IN THE IMMEDIATE PHYSICAL SPACE

The artwork may take shape as a display (virtual or not) inside or outside in a physical space, or in any communication venue, when it states NO REPLY ZONE. [in any format, animation, audio, installation, painting, projection, sculpture, video, and or written text - also digitally, on the web or not]

The artwork may take shape by disrupting waves (actively or passively) by controlling access to connectivity and information in the immediate physical space as an installation.

The artwork may take shape as a combination of the above, display + disrupting waves.

NRZ formulates SPACE

The artwork evokes a wide range of ways of comprehending our environment:

 NRZ creates a SPACE OF MEANING- [defined by context and phrase]

NRZ artwork brings to sight the interrelation of contexts expanding our comprehension of contemporary contexts and space boundaries. It also points towards future constructs.

NRZ connects through a rhyme and through the absence of an act to the familiar No Fly Zone (an emptied aerial space.) 

With this rhyme, NRZ carries a sense of order. 

It doesn’t necessarily forbid, instead it relates to options one might have: 

to reply

not reply 

or no option

waiting/hoping

or simply disengagement

It is PLACE OF REFLECTION

As WAVE-FREE LOUNGE it invites, stimulating direct communication within people that are currently present in the place.

As PSYCHOLOGICAL SPACE, it evokes the idea of hierarchy, of freedom, of forgiveness, of overload, of exhaustion and even relief. 

To engage with NRZ means to evaluate connectivity.

Looking at a strategic point of view, NRZ could mean obstructed communication. 

NRZ is then as No Fly Zone a blocked airspace.
