Description
It seems that a simple wooden table is the only object in a smoothly lighted room. To touch - to finger, to contact, to handle. The common museum traditions, meaning that the viewer is a viewer from distance, are turned around. The art pieces starts to be art only after an active action of the viewer. Through touching the table the viewer activates different voices coming out of the table. (source: http://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/kgi/projekte/rezensio/talkshow/2/talk2.htm )
