In this event a breathing space was created in a cupboard under the stairs. The intention was to find a confined dark space and so concentrate the effect that the audio has on the listeners breathing.
Three participants were involved in this test. The data collected exists as audio and the artist's notes resulting from conversations in situ.
The participants took time to immerse themselves in the space alone and together. When alone two out of three participants mentioned that the sound heightened the awareness they had of their own breath. This was for two reasons: firstly they tried to keep pace with the track and couldn't; secondly, the interruption they experienced increased their desire to breath more freely.
Observation:
Although interesting as a test I have yet to imagine how to use the audio in a space which is not dark and enclosed. This limits its potential for interaction.
