Responsibility Chair – Would you still sit on a throne if it held you responsible?

This somewhat dystopian tool reminds authorities that their power comes with great responsibility: instead of protecting and affirming one’s privilege, the Responsibility Chair fully exposes the user to the public by real time fact checking their statements through AI, then displaying the results above one’s head. The final product derives from an in-depth research regarding the role of the chair in spaces of power, and the single seating as a symbol of privilege and strength.
