In this work the notion of audience control and participation are explored through use of video, music and physical space. Emerging from the silver curtains, suddenly thrust upon a catwalk like center piece, the work suggests an exposure of the viewer to others in the space, as they find themselves becoming a controlling center of attention walking along the coloured units of changing textured carpet, and unknowingly upsetting the experiences of others. This passage of the new viewer is the trigger to changing the video and music pieces causing the navigation of each visitor to affect the experience of current and subsequent visitors – what you experience is a result of the visitors who have gone before you. The video and music pieces affect the state of the viewers’ consciousness as they try and find the screen to matched their sound track, or discover a new instrumental rendition of well known pieces of music: frustration, amusement, annoyance and projection are evoked as the pieces change because of the visitors’ location within the pathway.
