Psst! excuse me..

psst.jpgI was on my way to subway station to meet some friends in Stockholm and heard some one coughing. I turned around and didn’t see anyone. I proceeded further thinking that it’s just an illusion, but I hear it again. So I decided to trace the sound, it lead me to this slim board standing my a waste bin. This mini billboard was embedded with couple of speakers playing the coughing sound in a loop. the message on the board urges the passer-by to donate 50 KR to people suffering from Tuberculosis in Africa.Very simple interactive idea and it does its job.

Nice! On the poster is says “FÃ¥ tyst pÃ¥ eländet” which can be interpreted in two ways.

1. Shut that thing up! (what it normally means)
2. Ends the misery. (a more literal interpretation)

Cool,

this makes me think of Jorge’s talking paper bin. I really like this kind of intervention in the public space.
