François, an artist and horticulturalist, cannot initially work out the interactivity of the work and is confused. Because of the delay in image capture - he thinks that the image was not "real-time" interactive and can't work out what he is meant to do. I explain that he can change the object on the podium and, once he understands how to interact, he explores and tests it thoroughly. He explains why he very carefully selects a phone as the first object he will put on the podium. He puts his hands on the podium and finds its responses amusing.
