When walking around the exhibition you notice that the art pieces are arranged in certain places to give you space to view and you can contribute by involving yourself within the exhibition.
There are two whole rooms containing just one of Rafael Lozano-Hemmers art pieces. It would be a distraction if there were other art exhibits within the same space in these rooms. The viewer can therefore better focus and interact with the pieces in a larger space.
I noticed that Rafael Lozano-Hemmer expresses the use of body within every art piece. But they are not complete as we are the ones to make them whole by contributing our senses and mind.
33 Questions Per Minute makes you use your mind by thinking of a question. By submitting your question, it is viewed on one of the 21 LCD screens on the wall. You can also say we also use are eyes to read other people's submissions. But mostly we are thinking either of a question or an answer.

Microphones uses two of our senses; speech and hearing. When you speak into the mircophone it records your voice. But you also hear it being played back together with all of the other participant's voices, who have previously used the microphone.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer uses a mix of technology and everyday objects throughtout his art pieces in this exhibition. This relates to the above sentence i.e. that technology is only half of the progress and we are the ones to make it a whole. But also the use of technology is expressed by the way he has used ordinary technological objects and turned them in to art, for example the microphones and light bulbs. Music and production industries use microphones to enable the singer or speaker to be heard by the audience. Everyone uses a light bulb at night to see in the dark. He has used these ordinary objects and expressed them so they have become interesting art pieces in a gallery.
