How this work was made and presented

Studio description with an unresolved interaction-label conflict

Confirm the participation mode before designing access

The studio describes a suspended, hand-woven net environment, heartbeat-related lighting and music by OTIS. Its page also marks the work as non-interactive, creating an unresolved difference between the summary field and narrative. The listed 225-square-metre footprint does not establish capacity, accessible entry, supervision or permission to climb. Those details need a configuration-specific brief; present availability is unconfirmed.

Beijing APM atrium, programme launched December 2019

An atrium commission with two levels of participation

Machas describes Cocoon as a site-specific installation for Beijing APM’s 2019 festive programme. Its account records two suspended nets, more than 2,000 interactive lights and heartbeat sensors, with a central tunnel leading to an upper level. This is a documented mall-atrium configuration, rather than proof that every touring edition includes the same height, access system or interaction.
