ThickSpace is a series of installations that engage the public in altered sensory experiences. The intention of thickening space responds to the high speed, hyper visual environments that have become increasingly ubiquitous in today's world. These installations create opportunities to slow down, if only momentarily, and to experience a variety of otherwise normative situations through an altered spatial medium. Inhabiting ThickSpace stimulates a change in the way people interpret their surroundings by reorganizing the hierarchy of sensory perceptions.

While the idea grew out of an interest in urban conditions and the relationship between people and commerce, we are primarily interested in questioning the status quo of the dominance of the eyes in shaping our surroundings. Hence we believe that this idea also applies to the interaction between people and nature. ThickSpace_FRED is an experiment in the experience of being in a landscape.
