The level of participation in a collective activity that reinforces social norms.

The participant becomes the medium through which the work is realized.

Similar in respects to Minimalist Art where the hand of the artist is removed through industrial means, here the use of a mediator physically separates the author from the reader thus blurring the lines between fact/fiction, public/private, and exclusion/inclusion.

Security in any environment is sustained at the risk of making its subjects visible and thus vulnerable.
