I only feel feelings in transit is an immersive audio installation exploring simulated voyeurism as a means of performing masculinity. By reconfiguring parts of a disassembled automobile, the work gently parodies NPC machismo, where agency and subjecthood are restricted to filmified and gamified landscapes. Playing with the seduction of toys central to the collusion of masculine and capitalistic fantasies, ‘I only feel feelings in transit’ invites the audience to indulge in this contradictory ‘in betweenness’ via the simulation of a private interior existing in the gap between the momentum of their auditory experience and the illusion of a lack of control.
