My concept from the beginning was to deepen connections, and to create a chair that could transfer energies, especially mechanical and sonic energies. In the end, I didn’t stray too far from this. Similarly to my in-the-moment, unexpected art process, the abandoned objects I encountered in my day-to-day were crucial in the design of my piece: specifically two abandoned bikes and a green decorative piece from a dilapidated bench. My final bench is a place where physical and sonic energies transform into social power and community. As people spin the wheels of the bikes, the bench vibrates, and all the sitters are united in the physical feeling of the bench, and can work together to create music through these vibrations. As the wind blows, the windchimes and glass bottles also create noise, and the sitters can tap into the surrounding forces around them. In the end, this bench is a creative exercise for people and their surroundings to engage in, and to feel closer to each other as a result. It is a bench for conversation, to unite the restless who have trouble staying still, and the meditative who enjoy listening and learning to their surroundings, to find each other and to exchange ways of being.
