How did this design improve life?:
The development of telematic networks is spawning a debate over de repercussions these new forms of communication could have. Its appears that the most importat factor will not be the quality of the imformation available, but the possibility of everyone communicating with everyone and not just one-way communication as is the case with mass communication as we now knou it.

Short description of design:
The users of these networks will be active participants and not just mere spectators. The Chair-Screen establishes a new conception of information based on pesonal communication; in practice, it is a telecommunicator. Life-size images of speakers will be recorded in and projected on the armchairs in order to give images a new dimension, to take them off the screen –the symbol of media indifference- in an attempt to achieve greater involvement, a communication-information based on personal interaction.
