PROGRAM: An environment for watching videotapes. PROJECT: A system of architecture and furniture, for viewing videotapes, that is made up of the video monitors that are being viewed. Each monitor is encased in a steel framework inserted into a four-foot grid of steel pipe, from floor to ceiling. The monitors are spread through the room at different heights and in different directions. The monitors are stepped on, sat on, reclined on, in order to look at other monitors; the monitors used as architecture and furniture are, in turn, viewed from other monitors – the monitors viewed are, in turn, architecture and furniture for viewing other monitors. The monitors make up seats, stairways, beds and tables; the stepping-and-seating surface of each monitor is covered by a pad of industrial carpet. Audio-speakers are attached to the pipes, at the height appropriate for each viewing position. The system is adaptable to any room, and infinitely expandable: anywhere there’s a monitor that can be looked at and listened to, it needs another monitor as architecture/ furniture from which you can look and listen – anywhere a monitor can be used as architecture or furniture, it calls for another monitor you can look at and listen to. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/tele_furni_systems/index.html">Tele-Furni System</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/1997/index.html">1997</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Adjustable-Adaptable-Convertible/index.html">Adjustable-Adaptable-Convertible</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Built/index.html">Built</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Celia%20Imrey/index.html">Celia Imrey</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Clusters/index.html">Clusters</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Dar%C3%ADo%20N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez/index.html">Darío Núñez</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Display-Exhibition%20Design/index.html">Display-Exhibition Design</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Modules/index.html">Modules</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Seating/index.html">Seating</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Sound/index.html">Sound</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Tele-Furni%20System/index.html">Tele-Furni System</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Video/index.html">Video</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/333/03_S.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/333/03_S.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/333/03_S.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
