Tal Drori commented on the Muttering Hats by pointing to a brilliant goofy project of hers. I didn’t feel like leaving it in web limbo.

When the ears of the Coniglio Hat (coniglio means “rabbit” in italian) are pointed up, the sound of the music player is turned off; manifesting the user’s attentiveness and availability to communicate. When the ears are folded down, the music automatically turns on, their position indicates listening mode.
