The viewer is seated in a 70s era massage chair facing three monitors. The Symbiont awakens as it senses the viewer's body heat. To converse with it's new acquaintance, it tentatively extends it's robotic arm offering a sterile nipple. By biting down on the nipple, the viewer is able to hear the sounds uttered by the Symbiont. The sound vibrations travel from the nipple through the teeth to the ear like an inner voice. Inside the nipple are pressure sensors that determine the intensity and frequency of the sucking.
The viewer then "consumes" the images on the screen as the video skews and scales according to the chewing motion. The nipple's tip is removed so that viewer's respiration can be monitored through a breathing tube which allows the Symbiont to pattern its own rhythms and responses to the viewer’s breathing pattern.
As the viewer inhales and exhales the vibration of the chair ramps up and down, echoing the participant's breaths. When the breathing rhythms go out of phase, the viewer is compelled to compensate. The distinction between who is controlling who becomes blurred.
