A reciprocal relationship is one where both sides actively shape what happens. In our work that means two things.
Reciprocity between the installation and the body. Our installations are responsive — they react to presence, movement, touch, and sound. The audience isn’t watching a fixed performance; the installation is in dialogue with them as they’re in it. This is how an installation becomes something a nervous system can entrain with rather than just observe.
Reciprocity between the work and the audience. When the technology allows accessibility, people stop being passive audience and start becoming co-creators. The work becomes something made together — not made by us and consumed by them. A sense of belonging comes from making something together. It is a basic human need.
Both kinds sit underneath the wider design choice: we don’t make installations to be looked at. We make installations to be inside, in relationship with. That’s the reason we call them “immersive.”
