Join me & walk slowly?

An durational performance

My mom calls me a sloth for being slow at responding, talking and moving. 

It makes me wonder, 

if I am 'slow', then what is the right speed to move in?

And more importantly, how and who decides this speed?

I decided to take a common action, walking, and push it to the the most extreme end of speed I could reach to understand how that would impact myself and the people walking around me.
