Piece specifics

The piece will be in the form of a projected film. The pace of the film will be controllable by physical input from the viewer (stable bicycle.) The pace and intensity of the film is controlled by the pace of the viewers peddling. The intensity of the experience will build with the use of sound, imagery and lighting.   


THE MORE YOU PUT IN THE MORE YOU GET BACK.

  Endorphins-

  Released during vigorous exercise after reaching a THRESHOLD. They induce a state of Euphoria. Stops pain (allowing you to push beyond a point of physical limit). A feeling of light headedness, overwhelming sense of contentment and warmth (mild version of what happens if you take heroin) which explains why exercise can become so ADDICTIVE.
  Representation visually-
  Initial exertion-strenuous, seemingly endless, painful
  Breaking through threshold-Entering a Utopia
