The Bench Fiona Raby and Anthony Dunne
two cold steel benches located in different
cities, When somebody sits on one of them, a
corresponding position on the other bench warms
up opening up a sound channel.... At the other
location, by feeling the bench for body heat', a
person can decide to make contact by sitting on
the warm part, or open their own channel by
sitting nearby. Initially the sound channel is
distorted, but as the bench slowly warms up, the
channel clears, providing a moment to discretely
slide away if you change your mind. Dunne and
