It is clear that Serfontein draws on viewer interaction in order to ‘complete’ this ever-changing artwork that is never static or dormant.  In this manner, the viewer becomes the subject and the artwork simultaneously, and their image will remain for a while after they disengage from the artwork and move on.  This is done to not only query the societal outlooks on digital identities as gimmicks and games, but also to underpin the underlying unease present in recording oneself with or without consent, and thereby imprinting oneself therein.Some parts are sanded down to create a fading effect emphasising the rawness of the wood which symbolises the unfinished business of those who wander through the halls.
