According to Scenoscosme, the duo of Grégory Lasserre and Anaïs met den Ancxt, "the floor and walls of this room are made up of hundreds of thousands of fragile video-projected particles" that react in kind to a visitors actions. If they are gentle, the room "responds by engaging in respectful dialogue through harmonious sounds," but if there is too much noise, then "the room reaches the limits of its empathic behavior, and the sound withdraws and fades." The programming therefore requires visitors to "establish a dialogue by gently touching, tickling, or stroking furniture or walls" in order to generate the most appealing patterns from the particles combined with "delicate and soothing soundscapes."
