The piece consists of four iMacs sitting on found furniture in a salon like setting . The piece uses voice recognition and text-to-speech as well as max programming. There are 4 characters Ralph, Princess, Kathy and Fred. They talk to each other. The conversations are rather mundane. They talk about cars, sex, shopping, politics and food. They also burst into song at odd moments. Each computer responds to spoken keywords by the other computers or a viewer. Often the words are misunderstood and the conversation takes off in bizarre directions.
