The Seven Year Itch

This exhibit (Link: http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/archives/2005/09/07/blow) uses a microphone for breath input but what's interesting is that the photograph explains what to do at the exhibit. If you find yourself in front of a microphone you may end up doing one of many things. Singing, talking, yelling, etc. not necessarily blowing but the fact that the microphone is accompanied by a highly recognizable photo makes it perfectly clear what the microphone is for.

In this way we have the flexibility of a potential shift from what we discussed this evening. Instead of the blowing being clear, the thing that reacts could potentially make it clear that you are supposed to blow. Another way of looking at it thought we may not necessarily want to mess with microphones again :)
