A bright theater spotlight will illuminate a large oval on the ground. When a person walks on to the oval of light, a roar of clapping is heard. The enthusiasm of the virtual crowd increases with movement of the viewer and with the amount of viewers in the oval. If the viewer is still, the audience calms and eventually goes silent except for an occasional cough or clearing of the throat. When the viewer leaves the illuminated area the viewer hears applause proportional to the total amount of movement in that session.

This installation will use a real-time audio audience simulation and a movement sensor to produce an illusion that reverses the traditional relationship between viewer and subject. The audio in this installation is extremely lifelike and never repeats. People will actually feel as if a real, 500-member audience is applauding them. Viewers will perform in their own way and this will elicit different behavior from the virtual audience.
