A wooden
phone box from the 1970s is positioned in the entrance area of
the museum. As soon as somebody enters the box it starts to
vibrate with a deep sound. Inside the box there are special
speakers hidden, so called bass shakers. The spoken text about
vibration is pitched down to a very deep frequency that makes
the walls vibrate like membranes of the speakers. You are no
more able to understand the text, you just feel the rhythm of
a very deep voice physically as a vibration. After leaving the
box the sound file stops and everything seems normal again.
