Description: Artwork is comprised of five sound-equipped benches located in the zoo’s Family Farm.  Each bench is programmed to play a composition written by the artist that includes a “story” about the sense of sight, smell, and hearing, or that links people and animals in a natural setting.  These audio compositions are triggered to play when people sit on the benches.
