Muscle: a responsive gym
How would it feel if the space moved with you? Artist Geoffrey Lillemon has teamed up with the studio to speculate on the future of athletics and the spaces it happens in.
Muscle is an immersive gym environment that responds to your movements; a workout zone that thinks about how technology could interact with fitness and nurture a state of focus and presence in relation to our bodies.

Installing interactive sensors on a series of gym equipment, physical actions trigger lights and smoke, transforming the most generic of spaces into a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience that – so far – plays out across a dip station, bench press and lateral pull machine. The screen is attuned to each exercise’s intensity, responding as the user pushes through a motion. Part art, part fitness space, Muscle is designed with Lillemon’s signature aesthetic and executed using the studio’s immersive spatial technologies.

The collaboration will live on in a number of different ways. Currently a functional workout space at our Amsterdam studio, both in physical space and mirrored in our digital studio twin, eventually the gym will manifest as a live art installation that asks: What if we paid the same attention to our bodies as we did to art?
