'Room' is a global work, that can be accessed or recreated anywhere one takes
recording equipment. When it was originally conceived, it came with a set of
instructions on how to recreate the work hyperlocally, in one's own room. Partici-
pants started with the original recording of Lucier speaking and played it in a room,
rerecording it, over and over until it becomes ambient static, shaped by the space
they are temporally in.
