The scenography of the USB002 tour grows from Einder, the kinetic artwork by Boris Acket, a living system of fabric, gravity, and motion. From the outset of the tour, it was a shared ambition of Boris and Fred again.. to reveal this work beyond the charged temporality of the concert: to offer an expanded encounter in which the artwork and music could be fully inhabited. What emerges is an extended, communal experience - seated or supine - closer to a ritual than a performance. Now presented in New York, the installation unfolds outside the logic of the live show. Set to a specially reworked version of Secret Life - the ambient collaboration by Brian Eno and Fred again.. - the work exists as a durational environment, without a fixed beginning or end. Sound and movement drift continuously through the space. Every thirty minutes, a synthetic and generative storm reverberates through the building, newly recomposed for this exhibition by Boris Acket, briefly destabilising the calm before receding again. The installation deliberately blurs the boundaries between concert hall and gallery, between listening and looking, between collective presence and personal space. Time softens here; attention expands. This project is personal at every scale. The USB002 tour gave rise not only to a shared language but to enduring friendships between Fred, Boris, and the wider teams around the work. Secret Life is an intimate exchange between Brian Eno and Fred again.. Einder stands among Boris Acket’s most developed and personal works. The hope is that this sense of closeness — between people, materials, and sound — can be felt throughout the experience, however briefly or however long one chooses to remain.
