Edition by Hansjoachim Dietrich. A cushion cover made of light-colored linen, into which a black toggle switch is sewn, lies in a grey drawer. A red and black cable with lamellar plugs emerge from the cushion

    As the edition Geräuschkissen (EB15) published in the year prior, Hansjoachim Dietrich has designed an event object for the En Bloc (EB20) cabinet. The edition is a sound-generating cushion that becomes a communication object by means of the integrated sound frequency-body resistance indicator. A push button is sewn into one side with which the object can be activated. Two cables with lamellar plugs protrude from the cover. The cushion emits a sound as soon as the electrical circuit is established. This happens, for example, when two people touch each other, each holding a lamellar plug in one hand.
