This is a generic interactive exhibit component that could be used in any subject and circumstance. It picks up on our innate ability and interest, as humans, to gather information from conversations. The visitor listens in on a free-flowing conversation between several characters in the display but they can also direct who they want to hear from next and change the subject if desired. The video version of this exhibit substitutes video monitor talking heads for the speakers and maintains the same multithreaded non-linear character of real conversations.
