The room in which the installation took place was carefully manicured to feel sterile and to function somewhat in the same way as an abstract painting through use of simple rectangular forms and their proximity to one another.

Along the walls were pictures of the space with no viewers present, intended to amplify awareness of self as viewers become the key difference between the room in which they are standing and the photos on the walls.

To heighten this awareness of self, two computers sat facing one another with audio programs running on their screens. These computers were set up to stand idle when viewers moved and spoke softly, but to begin recording the sounds in the room and displaying the waveform of what their microphones picked up if noise levels breeched a certain threshold. This encouraged viewers to either move carefully through the already tense space or to be deliberately loud in contrast to it. In either case, the audio elements are meant to add a sense of intentionality to the actions of the viewers while in the space.
