A single, empty chair sits in the middle of a darkened room. Leather restraining straps hang ready from the arms, legs and head rest of its sturdy steel frame. The only illumination in the room comes from a narrow beam of light from the ceiling and the relentless, rippling imagery being projected on the wall in front of the chair. The only sound, a monotonous, liquid drone.
