After initial testing, the decision was made to take out the 'erasing' feature as it felt unnecessary and unintuitive. Instead, we decided to double the installation, creating the opportunity for two people to interact simultaneously. Now, the pattern of one person is projected onto the other and vice versa. | After initial testing, the decision was made to take out the 'erasing' feature as it felt unnecessary and unintuitive.

‘It often feels as if we can no longer experience anything if we don’t first alienate it. In fact,alienation may now be a necessary preface to experience. Anything too close to us bears the label ‘Objectify and Re-ingest’…… As a mode of experience it can be called degenerate, but it is no more so than our ‘space’ is degenerate. It is simply the result of certain necessities pressed upon us……You can only see what a good time you had from the summer snapshots. Experience can then be adjusted to certain norms of ‘having a good time’. These Kodachrome icons are used to convince friends you did have a good time - if they believe it, you believe it. Everyone wants to have photographs not only to prove but to invent their experience. This constellation of narcissism, insecurity, and pathos is so influential I suppose none of us is quite free of it.’ Brian O’Doherty | ‘It often feels as if we can no longer experience anything if we don’t first alienate it.
