SQUAT is a ocupation project in a abandoned build, in the center of rio de janeiro city, made by a group of artists. The diversity of spaces created by the espontaneous produce of the group, inside the build envoirement, made them always ephemeral. So, one space can have a lot of ativitis. Looking in this way, the squaters experience in space is more important to the project them the phisical space of the build.

This experiencie is translated in a iteractive cd room separated in:

· Phisical space of the build: your location and phisical identification through images,the prerrogatives of invasion
· the ocupation evolution: stages of evolution and his direct assosiation with substructure of the build, going until a “ideal stage”, were all spaces are working
· Program: samples of ativites, agreed with the group intentions, separeted in days of week, characterizing the ephemeral quality of the spaces and the invasors integratition with the build envoirement
· The squaters: their reasons, intentions and interventions in yours private space of living and work in the build

The main propouse of this virtual invasion is the understanding of the multiplicity and ephemerety quality of the build envoirement trough the experience of the users, and give motivation to the society to solve their own problems without the goverment.
