We often think that we are in charge of a situation, in control of a machine, aware of what is going on in general. However this is not always, or may be even never, the case (true != 1). In the hide of 'duplex' bidirectional systems that allow and expect 'interaction' from the user it's rather hard to recognize their dominative behavior. Yet the question whether peoples decisions are or aren't their own (un/affected by the environment, tools, images of other people) is open.

'Master/slave' proposes an experience of taking control on another person by physically connecting to his/her immaterial image. The image represents a person who interacted with the installation before and by doing so left snapshots in the system. By pulling the strings you can play a 'puppet' of your predecessor and see how your own moves are 'influenced' by your on-screen opponent. The process is a continuous progression and over/inter -layering of mutual intercourse (intercommunication), after all - among the real people.
