The work is iterative and with that its profile and critical reception built over time across prominent sites of protest in the City of Melbourne. The museum box played host to a different sound work with each iteration as a protest related to each site was activated by members of the public. As people were invited to step into the museum box, and onto a treadmill, the speed at which they walked dictated the pace and volume of the sounds from past protests. While people relived the events it coincided with actual protests: at Parliament House thousands of people (from all demographics) at the Invasion Day Rally engaged with the work; and again, at Trades Hall, a workers protest of hundreds finished at the site. The archival collided with the actual as new and old technologies were spliced to reveal the history of site, alongside the conceits of participatory culture, and ironically, participatory art.Research statement
