RR is a tool, an object, a process — a responsive system of inputs and outputs that explores our perception of spatial agency.

Developed in residence at V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media (NL), RR was presented as a work-in-progress at V2_ on March 20, 2026.

Slender, floor-to-ceiling conductive lines form the primary interface for audience participants. Stretched across the architecture, their metallic cores act as distributed antennas, amplifying the electromagnetic frequencies of human presence through capacitance-sensing technology. The inputs register proximity and touch, transmitting signals to kinetic outputs: mobile, suspended, balancing projectors housed within oversized glass cylinders.

Partners: V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media (NL), EPFL-CDH Enter the Hyper-Scientific (CH), Atelier Calder (FR), Yale Center for Collaborative Arts and Media (CCAM) (US), InteSpring (NL), TU Delft (NL), The Arts Club of Chicago (US), the Davis Museum (US), MIT School of Architecture and Planning (US).

Looking back at Sarah Oppenheimer’s TRYDAY at V2_
@foldingenterprises @v2_unstable 20/03/2026. RR.

During this Tryday we were able to present and explore Sarah Oppenheimer’s work/research-in-progress on RR.

RR as a tool, an object, a process — a responsive system of inputs and outputs that explores our perception of spatial agency.

Creating an intertwined ecosystem connecting its machines, performers and audience.

“By turning, tipping, and reorienting mobile output elements, performers control the direction and angle of projection. Cones of light expand and contract, sweeping across walls and ceiling. Pools of illumination overlap and interact, transforming architectural surfaces into dynamic, active fields. 

RR produces an entangled relay of responsiveness across multiple timescales. Immediate mechanical feedback establishes a clear sense of causality, while digitally mediated delay introduces temporal offset, complicating the perception of linkage and change. Cause and effect are stretched across time and space. RR invites reconsideration of control itself: rather than seeking instant feedback, it expands a field of delayed reciprocity.”

It was a pleasure welcoming the project as development residency and Tryday, asspace for dialogue, feedback, and exchange between V2_’s team, artist, performers and visitors.

Our environment contains us, and its machines maintain us, forming an intertwined ecosystem of context and habitation. How might our presence within these systems reshape their hierarchies and interdependencies? How might time be stretched or contracted, synchronized or offset, to amplify our sense of interconnection?

Sarah Oppenheimer public lecture | Met Commons programming
January 29, 5–6pm

The SA+P Met Commons introduces Programming Agency, a three-day workshop convened by artist Sarah Oppenheimer (@foldingenterprises) and involving MIT students and faculty during IAP.

The workshop centers on N-05001, Oppenheimer's forthcoming percent-for-art commission for the MIT Metropolitan Storage Warehouse, and explores how architectural systems — movement, sensing, and delay — shape perceptions of agency. The workshop will directly inform how the artwork registers and expresses data from its future SA+P home.

The January 29 lecture opening the workshop is accessible to all and offers a window into the work taking shape at the Met Warehouse. Please join us!

Public lecture + Q&A
PROGRAMMING AGENCY with Sarah Oppenheimer
January 29, 5–6pm
ACT Cube, MIT E15

Convened by Sarah Oppenheimer; cohosted by the SA+P Met Commons (@mitsap), the MIT List Visual Arts Center (@mitlistarts), and the Art, Culture, and Technology program (@actmit).

This "wormhole" by Sarah Oppenheimer pierces two floors of Mattress Factory, altering our vision and expectations. Oppenheimer brings our relationships with space and architecture to the realm of the impossible, evoking curiosity and a slight sense of unsettlement.

While everyone has a different view through the hole, depending on their position in the gallery space and on their height, the viewer follows the sight line to see a neighboring yard across the street. Sarah Oppenheimer’s work investigates the feedback loop between the built environment and human behavior.

Visit Mattress Factory to conduct your own investigation.We're open Wednesday through Sunday, and stay open late until 8 PM on Wednesdays and Fridays through August 31. ☀️

We are delighted to share the evolution of Sarah Oppenheimer’s project (@foldingenterprises), developed over her CDH-Enter the Hyper-Scientific Artist Residency Program in 2023, and her residency  at Atelier Calder in 2024. At EPFL, in collaboration with the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS), Oppenheimer created N-03X67, a dynamic network that fosters unexpected kinesthetic and visual connections between human bodies and architecture. In Saché, the artist developed N-04008, a luminous system with both technical and social dimensions. Functioning simultaneously as analogue artwork and kinesthetic network, N-04008 invites visitors to interact with suspended elements and trigger a chain reaction. Light is the medium and structure of the experience, transforming spectators into active participants in a spatial choreography where the rhythms of living systems flow seamlessly between body and building.

Fonctionnant simultanément comme une œuvre d’art analogique et un réseau kinesthésique, N-04008 invite les visiteurs à interagir avec des éléments suspendus et à déclencher une réaction en chaîne. La lumière est le support et la structure de l’expérience, transformant les spectateurs en participants actifs d’une chorégraphie spatiale où les rythmes des systèmes vivants circulent de manière fluide entre le corps et le bâtiment.
