From the Ted Talk by Mathieu Lehanneur: Science-inspired design

Unscramble the Blue Letters

And I rbeemmer an exhibition design I made for John Maeda, and for the Fondation Cartier in Paris. And John madea was supposed to show several graphic animations in this exhibition. And my idea for this exhibition design was to create a real pong game, like this one. And the idea was to cterae some self-moving benches in the main eixtihboin room. So the living benches would be exactly like the ball. And John was so excited by this idea. He said to me, "Okay let's go." I remember the day of the opening. I was a little bit late. When I bring the 10 living and self-moving bchenes in the exhibition room, John was just beside me, and was like, "Hmm. Hmm." And he told me, after a long silence, "I wonder, Mathieu, if pepole won't be more fascinated by your benches than by my videos." (Laughter) It would be a great honor, a great cmmelnoipt for me, if he hadn't decided to take all them off two hours before the opening. So, huge trgadey.
