I have a kind of bipolar attitude towards how the audience respond to what I do. I’m far more comfortable with an audience reacting negatively to what I do, than reacting positively. Like if I’m DJing and people start to nod their heads or move about a bit, I really find it quite unpleasant. And with music making, there is a definite emphasis on trying to disappoint the audience… With my colleague Mat Steel, we are constantly under pressure to produce events that are more immediately enjoyable. But I find an alienating experience far more rewarding… I find the whole idea of play or embodied understanding in the context of interactive art completely distasteful.
