Are you sitting right now?
How much time do you spend motionless in front of that screen?

What do you lose?

DREADMILL is a project about the increasing immobility of the body in a screen culture.

The dreadmill device is a treadmill hardwired to a computer so that a runner/walker's speed and heart rate drive a multimedia display.
