Dear Sir/Madam, "This is a bench which registers the daily patterns of life we don’t see - that keeps a tally of its usage and remembers everyone who takes the time in a busy city, to sit on it and watch the world go by. Built into each of the bench’s contoured seat buckets is a simple analogue tally counter of the sort used by men in beards to count passing cars in the streets, and by air hostesses to tally passengers on a budget airline. Each time someone sits on one of the seats their weight triggers the tally counter to register their vote. But what are they voting for? It is an unconscious vote of preference - the preference for one view over another, the preference of having the sun warm one’s face rather than one’s back or the preference for the laughter of running water to the churning of idling engines. This is a bench to remember, register and record - quite literally a ‘benchmark’ against which to calibrate the passing of hours, days, weeks, months and years."
