In a group exhibition in which Kennedy/Violich Architects had been commissioned to design individual spaces for artist installations, I built a movable room so that I could control my own social relations with the other artists in the exhibition. A small conventional room was built on large casters. Punting oars penetrated the sides of the room so that the occupant could push off the floor and blindly steer the room around the exhibition hall. A recording of Caruso singing O Sole Mio continuously played into the room through a vent high on the back wall.
