Viewers' movements are recorded in silhouette, as they physically displace the recordings of previous viewers. When movements re-play, only the viewers' movements are shown, giving a sense of autonomy to actions which were actually determined through interaction with the prior recordings. "Cause and effect" is a common translation for the Buddhist term Karma, which dictates that all human experiences, however minute, are the result of their own prior actions.
