Abstract
This paper describes an expressive artefact - a tablecloth that responds to sounds in its surrounds - by a complicated pattern of movements. The cloth has been exposed to users in two different settings and different types of user responses were observed. Some users were mainly interested in the technical setup. Others responded interactively to the movements of the cloth. The paper investigates whether and how users appreciated the complex behaviour of the cloth and the conditions under which expressive artefacts are responded to.
