Test Chair 1 is of materials taken from a neighboring construction site. Its back rest, side rest, and butt lip are playful ergonomic and its pointed feet can be positioned in the soil to any angle and tilt. Its placed in a traffic circle because its a unique physical engagement of land people here are not drawn to occupy. Its view is like none other - except for those homes with bad chi.
Noise and sunlight and aggression are strictly directional here.
Anxiety and piece of mind can be one.
I found when I sit looking down a street straight on cars headed towards me are not intimidating. There’s a special comfort in facing oncoming traffic whether it be with my eyes or an ear or the back of my head. There’s no question I’m confronting an oncoming car in my mind, as my body got used to not taking action I associated confrontation and inaction together.
I found when I sit at a at a 45° to the streets my body is not relaxed. My eyes jet back and forth following car noises from my ears which are working to localize the noises - this is unconsciously exhausting as cars drive around the traffic circle the balance of noise in the left and right ears continuously change.
