A cluster of empty porcelain dinnerware of differing shapes and sizes scattered around a table emit quiet sounds through a small hole in the middle. Picking up a bowl, and pressing it to one’s ear, one hears small story fragments from different cultures that relate to eating and the various dining rituals. The tableware are equipped with customized electronics that sense the arrangement of the plates, revealing different stories according to their self- proximity. The Whispering Table, by TheGreenEyl, presents to us the similarities and peculiarities of food ceremonies in a playful and entertaining way.
