Hotspot is a shared ritualistic experience of non-verbal communication and exchange between human bodies, and a responsive environment. Hotspot is a shared experience of uploading yourself in order to reconnect to yourself, and each other inside a living, breathing space. It is an experience of letting go of control in exchange for connection and communication.

In doing so, the work intends to facilitate an alternative experience of information exchange which is based on shared, embodied experience rather than individual, human-centric symbolic representation. 

Visitors in the inner circle wear octopus headsets which collect  prefrontal cortex (brain activity), eye movement, sweat response, and heart rate data of each participant. An algorithm translates each participants biodata into electrical stimulation on the other participants, as well as an activation in the space through pneumatic tubes and inflatables.
