The sculpture itself is a suspended blue tank, four by seven meters, in an even larger room with wooden floors and a marked-out interactive area. The space is charged, light refracting through the water, revealing its surface tension. A first step across the threshold onto one of the interactive pads results in a faint hum, and then waves in the water overhead. As the water ripples out, light bands itself across the room, redoubling its energy.  Each step produces another hum and more waves just above where you step.  If you stomp harder or softer, the waves themselves seem to form longer and shorter ripples - each combining and reforming with the last. You can tiptoe or jump, fall or run.

If more participants enter the space, the moving water in undertoe's tank erupts outward from them, seemingly taking long strides towards you across the room. You can respond in kind, using the floor to send out signals that answer or disrupt, or you can venture a more collaborative effort; two or more carefully choreographed individuals working in tandem, whether from across the room or side by side, can create improbable and beautiful forms in the body of water above. The constantly changing light and shadow in the room only act to accent the delicacy of your collaboration...

undertoe's participants may experience it as a moving landscape, an enveloping kinetic sculpture, an intimate collaboration, a complex and elaborate dance, or a playful game of tag.
