| The
'Anti-Loitering Seat' is a conceptual artwork designed
to look like a remnant of turn-of-the-century (19th to
20th) streetscaping. The seat highlights the change of
attitudes from a time when loitering in the street wasn't
encouraged to the current trend of shopping street renewal,
inviting people to linger. Whilst the seat doesn't actually
function it has been designed as though it could - the
act of sitting activates a mechical timer and after 10
mins the seat rotates dislodging loiterers. See Mitchell
Community Mosaics, Mitchell
Lighting, Mitchell
Seating and Mitchell
