Related to #BoneConduction: One of the most moving art pieces and concepts I know of is (was?) the "Touched Echo" installation by Markus Kison in the center of Dresden, allowing visitors to "hear" the sounds of the British carpet-bombing air raid from February 13, 1945, when they rest their elbows on the railing near the river and hold their ears closed... Nothing is heard/felt by any bystanders nearby... Such a powerful concept and window to the past!

@badger3 That's the thing... I don't know if it still exists. The project is from 2007. I'd hope it's still there, though!
