Viewers listen to an audio soundtrack of a female orgasm while looking at a reflection of their face lit up with cold-temperature LED lights. The one way mirror has a webcam on one side recording the experience and expressions of the viewer, which is then sent through a delayed live video feed to a monitor in an alternate space. In the alternate space, viewers are watched by other visitors, or catch a glimpse of themselves from the past.

 

In large metropolitan cities, we are constantly being watched and recorded by cameras that surround us. When we seclude ourselves back home into our apartments, we feel a sense of comfort knowing we are in a private space where a large portion of our time is spent looking at screens. What happens when our privacy is breached? In experiencing "O", viewers are pushed to acknowledge their faces and reactions towards the audio, as well as encounter listening to a taboo soundtrack in a public space. Viewers are watching themselves, watching others, and watching themselves being watched by others.
