This faux fitness regime is akin to an internet based, Fluxus "happening", which often encouraged maximum audience participation. House Gym empowers the banal domestic setting with new meaning and excitement. When someone performs House Gymnastics they become the artist making the art, creating ephemeral human sculptures that last for only 3 seconds. Viewers can submit photos, enter the Move of Month competition and take on physical challenges such as The 25th Element and The 10 Commandments.
