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.

"Pressure" is a collaborative effort of the students in the "Interactive installation" class at the school of the museum of fine arts taught by artist Larry Shea. Technically this class focuses on the MAX/MSP object oriented multimedia programming language coupled with the I-CubeX, a MIDI interface system for connecting external sensors (pressure sensors, lasers, etc.) to MAX/MSP.
