The experience includes one custom drink, light snacks, and self-refill beverages.

The act of experiencing a work becomes aligned with the attitude through which art is made—a mode of spectatorship that becomes a mode of creation.

For the everyday to become art, participants must have an experience that allows them to carry the creator’s attitude back into their own daily lives.

The audience may think they are merely “participating” in a work made by the artist, but the artist is only building an environment in which the audience can become active creators themselves. This environment invites them to act autonomously and intentionally—not identical to the conditions in which the artist created the work, but resembling the environment in which the artist thought, experimented, and shaped their process.

If participants immerse themselves as active, self-directed agents within this environment, it becomes a place where they can genuinely become creators.
