Footnote join Jesse Austin-Stewart, Sabrina Lawson, Stuart Foster, and Jon He for the interactive spatial installation Elastic Proximity, as part of the Performance Arcade 2026 Container Series.Elastic Proximity is an interactive spatial installation that reanimates archival field recordings from urban sites, resituating them within a new sensory ecology. Three standing objects, each a sentient node of sound and light, respond to the presence and movement of bodies in space. As visitors approach, dormant atmospheres awaken: traffic hums become harmonic pulses, air vents translate into tone, memory turns acoustic. Through proximity sensors, spatial sound, and colour-coded illumination, the work compresses distance, inviting audiences to slip between place and time, and turns the sculptures into agentic participants with the audience.
