Presented at the Museum of Unwanted Architecture on the occasion of the Biennale (courtesy Marshall McLuhan, 1979 / Walter Pichler, 1970), this project for public space links the work of the sculptor with that of the media theorist.

In 1974 Noever visited Marshall McLuhan at the Center for Culture and Technology, University of Toronto. In 1979 they founded the Center for Understanding Media in Vienna together with ORF avant-garde program designers Hans Preiner and Barrington Nevitt (President: McLuhan). In 1972 Walter Pichler realized his sitting pits, his first stationary sculpture, in Noever’s land art project “The Pit”.
