At this phase I would like to “borrow” the title of the Lentos exhibition[1], SEE THIS SOUND and I will focus on the project Laurie Anderson - The Handphone Table (1978). You sit at a table and music underneath of the table is conducted through your bones, as you hold your hands to your ears. The hollows within the table act as loudspeakers. It is an intimate way of hearing as well as feeling the music. The principle of the performance of Handphone Table bases on the conduction of sound through bones.

Maybe it' s time to wonder if the sound of the city is really transmitted through its own human activities?
