On Mute
Video calling We like this gesture because there is a sense of intimacy that comes with carrying out mundane activities or being in a private space but with the presence of someone else through a screen. It affords a sense of quiet reassurance, yet this is also accompanied with a sense of distance and longing. This gesture started becoming important to us when physical presence is not possible or too much. More than a mere simulation of sharing the same physical space, it creates a different quality of intimacy.
