Poemform is an interactive bench derived from the waveform of the poem Diamonds in Dystopia. Embedded surface transducers so that it becomes a sound system, the bench will play a different line of poem depending upon where you sit. It represents the following three lines from Vincent Celluci’s poem Diamonds in Dystopia:

irrigating minds

the one prototype for change
   more giving systems
