Choral Riser III

One dips both hands into two distinct water troughs, which causes a subtle electric current to pass through the body, speeding up one’s heart rate by an eighth of a beat. A faint suspended choral crescendo of sound rises as if emerging from one’s body conglomerate while a light becomes ever brighter from between the mirrored walls. One beckons their friends to take their hand and become one with the circuit of the device as the swell of the sound intensifies with each additional person.
