The Musical Swings

The Musical Swings is an interactive public art installation featuring 10 swings that each activate a different note, allowing participants to make music, connect to one another and to have a sense of ownership of public space. When used all together, the swings compose a musical piece in which certain melodies emerge only through cooperation. The concept and design were developed by Daily tous les jours - a Montreal-based interaction design studio that focuses on participation in public spaces. They have 30 other fascinating interactive art pieces spread throughout the U.S. and Canada.
