Orr’s personal involvement with the anechoic chamber led to the development of 0 Mass (1969–73 and 1983), a corner-less paper room that has strangely profound results upon its viewers. Orr first started experimenting with 0 Mass in 1969 and primary exhibited it in 1973 on the collage of California, Irvine. it truly is an oval room, nearly forty toes lengthy, 12 ft large, and 12 ft excessive (though the size are incalculable whereas in the space), during which the ceiling, ground, and partitions are shrouded by way of photographers’ history paper produced in rolls sufficiently big that the partitions have just one seam, which additionally features because the technique of access. 0 Mass is determined inside a room or gallery that's lit in basic terms in a roundabout way via a crack within the doorway, or a shaded window. within the brief time period, 15–30 mins, 0 Mass is discomfiting; it is just average to take away your self from conditions that compromise your top-quality resource of data (vision) and the overpowering tendency is to depart. yet an extended sojourn begets popularity, which in flip can provide a extra 23 24 25 Ibid. , p. 162.
