Martin Creed has a series of installations titled ' Half the air in a given space' in which he fills the entrances to gallery spaces with a sea of balloons. The viewers must wade through them in order to enter other gallery spaces, the bodies of the audience creating movement and sound, in essence creating the artwork. The work would evoke a number of different psychological and physical experiences for each member of the audience ranging from suffocating to joyful. This work forces the audience to interact and take part in the artwork, and it clearly fits into this topic of art and audience.
