In Steve Paxton’s PHYSICAL THINGS, a polyethylene air-inflated structure occupied most of the Armory floor, with a tower rising to the peak of the Armory roof.

Emerging from the structure, they used small receivers to hear different sounds broadcast from wire loops suspended in a net overhead, thus composing their own sound experience.
