Can you remember the last time you were on a swing? The tickle you felt going up into the sky?
Now imagine a swing that makes a pleasant sound, different by how fast you go. But it gets even better, it’s a collaborative tool to show that you can make great music working together.
In San Jose, at Plaza de Cesar Chavez, a new installation provides exactly this experience.
Ten seats, four instruments (piano, harp, guitar and vibraphone) and fun for all ages:
A project from Daily tous les jours, an interaction design studio bringing us collective experiences in public spaces. San Jose is the last stop in this traveling exhibit, ending October 2, 2016.
Mixed in with airplanes and construction noise, I felt happy.
Swing on by!
When was the last time you were on a swing?
