The installation is made in collaboration with [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enklu) to give Grimes fans the opportunity to change her popular song 'Realiti' using the [movements of their bodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-the-sound), allowing them to let the music feel them for once.
