A micro colour CCTV camera is hidden among a series of sculptural constructions that suggest outside exercise equipment. Behind these sits a faux boardroom table with a row of microphones whose function has been reversed; they now operate as speakers transmitting ambient sounds of audience movement. The live video footage is relayed to a digital projector that screens random images of visitors on the wall behind and above the boardroom table. These give the impression that audience members are now walking over the table.
