The Extra Room exists in an imaginary world where neuro-imaging is used to «read» the human mind. As the mind becomes transparent in this world a new necessity of protective self discipline emerges. Utilising effects of sensory deprivation and methods used by the military to break someone down, the room enables subjects to adjust their thinking and beliefs. The Extra Room, a reversed disciplinary architecture, is built into the basement of a multi storey building where it is shared by the house’s inhabitants.
