Project Context
Graduation Project

An overwhelming real-time simulation of possible interactions without conclusion or ideal solution. Cause and effect - mutually provocative catalysts escalating from monotonous routine to unreflected impulsiveness. The artwork is a place that brings peripheral emotions back into view. An experiment in perception and irritability. A simulation between control and transgression, which finds a possible end in its overstimulation and its resulting collapse.
