Seating experiment by Edo Paulus and Luna Maurer. The audience is seated according to a set of rules.

Placement / Displacement is a model in which people simulate the logic of a computer system. This living model consists of entities (spectators) that are bound by rules. When the rules cause the individual entities to react on each other, a whole comes into existence that is constantly in motion. You can't design the patterns that emerge beforehand and you can't foresee the result. Especially not when PEOPLE are executing these rules instead of computers.
