N-06 is a tool, an object, and a process that explores how time shapes our perception of spatial agency. Slender, floor-to-ceiling lines form the primary interface. Through contact, participants reorient the exhibition environment itself. Cones of light expand and contract, overlap, and dissolve. N-06 asks how the redistribution of spatial control alters perceptions of agency and how temporal structures shape collective behavior.

Sarah Oppenheimer is an architectural manipulator whose work explores the emergent relations between human and non-human systems. Oppenheimer lives and works in New York and Rotterdam and is professor in the practice at Yale University’s School of Art.
