Longing for an “intimate” social encounter at the Crossroads of the World?
Try the creative new street furniture in Times Square.
It’s called a “meeting bowl.”
It’s a 5-foot-tall capsule that provides seating — and discussion opportunities — for up to eight people.
The three new “meeting bowls” also will prompt people to record and share dialogue with smartphones or laptops.
It’s bound to be a moving experience. The structures gently rock as people step in and out.
The Times Square Alliance and a Spanish collaborative said yesterday that the contemporary art project will be in Times Square through Sept. 16.
The name of the collaborative is a lower-case “m,” four times.
To pronounce it, pretend like you’ve just had something good to eat: “mmmm.”
