The environment pairs Young's continuous sine wave composition and Zazeela's lighting work. Early iterations of Young's sound installation were sections from his larger work The Turtle, His Dreams and Journeys (1966–present); recent iterations feature a composition with a 107-word title that begins “The Base 9:7:4 Symmetry in Prime Time” and consists of 32 sine wave tones produced on a Rayna synthesizer with precise microtonal capabilities; the frequency relationships can be experienced differently as the listener moves throughout the room.Zazeela's magenta lighting installation is entitled Light. It is produced by filtered amber and blue light, and is accompanied by her light sculptures, including the four-piece mobile sculpture “Imagic Light” (1993). According to Zazeela, "together, the sound and light can be experienced as a new form, or new media [...] The experience of the two mediums together as one requires a new, or at least different, mode of attention."
