Our lives have become increasingly private with the result that we have to deliberately plan and interact with our friends, neighbours and relatives. And if space is the problem, we can simply arrange a weekend gala on a terrace/garden. Having a portable video projector with built-in DVD player and a screen or a white sheet of cloth will complete what ever was missing from the gathering.

It took more than $300,000 and a hard work of four months for this dream to materialise. The designer of the project and company owner Jeffrey Smith created a never before wonder by having a floor that vibrates. In his words “the floor doesn’t stroke the walls or the concrete beneath… It enlarges and contracts with air pressure, so that when the subwoofers jolt in, you can feel the whole lot coming up from base of seats.”

Christened as “the H Box,” it is seen as a high-art mobile museum (a nomadic object) that takes inspiration from 1970s spacecrafts. The entertainment zone of the H Box allows its viewers to watch art movies, avant garde productions by chic and noir directors and producers such as Dora García, Su-Mei Tse, Judit Kúrtag, Yael Bartana, etc.
