This two-person collaborative installation is an interactive sensory experience. Three unique spaces, each defined by cloth screen walls, house a pedestal with a sen-sor inside. When the viewer places a hand over the sensor, a video is projected on the cloth wall, and a new originally composed piece of music is layered in on top of an al-ready playing track. In addition, cool or hot air blows on the hand, resulting in an im-mersive, arhitecutral, sensory experience.
