Sit Com Room

Installation with canned audience

There is a canned audience set on a loop that gets activated and plays on hidden speakers, the moment anyone enters into this installation. The sound recordings of the canned audience have also been placed in houses and apartments for short durations, so that people can experience living in a sit com. Things like thunderous applause everytime one opens the doors, or obscene laughter when one leaves the bathroom. Sort of a reverse of reality television--fake life.
