BoingBoing pal Cameron Sinclair says:
"50 artists were given Votomatic voting booths from the 2000 Florida election. Naturally they fucked with them. Tonight they will be auctioned off in New York City.
"Participating designers and artists include David Byrne, Christo, Frank Gehry, Milton Glaser, Hugh Hardy, Maira Kalman, Richard Meier, David Rockwell, Stefan Sagmeister, Ed Schlossberg, Robert A.M. Stern, Brian Tolle, Yeohlee Teng, and Diane von Furstenberg."

Shown here: SIT ON THIS, designed by Tucker Viemeister, Kai Williams, Philip Refior, and Silas Warren of Springtime USA. Materials: Pink corduroy, foam rubber, and iron-on patches. "The abstract form of the Florida voting booth reminded us of a chair. We shortened the legs, made a corduroy slipcover, and BINGO! It's almost a proverbial La-Z-Boy. To wake up the complacent citizen, we wrote on the seat: Do Not Rest Until Your Vote Is Counted."
