Honorary Mention Interactive Art
A cluster of empty porcelain cups of different shapes and sizes scattered around a table emit quiet sounds through a small hole in the middle. Picking up the plate and pressing it to one’s ear, one hears the plates and bowls explaining small story fragments from different cultures relating to eating, and the rituals around the dinner table. The plates are equipped with custom electronics that sense the arrangement of the plates, revealing different stories according to their constellation.
