- Worth noticing
- Each bench has 6 × 2 lit pads; outside games, the site assigns the left bench to back and the right to forward.
Field notes
The design assigns separate roles to touch and seating: reachable pixels trigger responses, while the benches act as game controllers and, in other modes, provide back and forward controls. For nearby art cars, the page describes 15 frequency bands from bass to treble, with falling peak markers; when no car is present, it says the sculpture uses its own soundtrack.
