"Pressure" was a collaborative effort of the students in "Interactive Installation" a class at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts taught by New York artist Larry Shea. Technically this class focuses on the MAX/MSP object oriented Multimedia programming language coupled with the I-Cube, a MIDI interface system for connecting external sensors (pressure sensors, lasers, etc.) to MAX/MSP.

Situated in the Gallery@Green St above a busy subway stop, "Pressure" is a site specific installation where computer controlled sensors manipulate the sights and sounds of daily commuting to address issues of accelerated culture and the evolving metaphors for speed and progress. Pressure seeks to explore the psychology and physicality of individuals in the contemporary urban landscape.
