Musical Swings Installation (Video)
As visitors walk through the Museum Park, they may hear musical notes or a song coming from a swing set. This swing set was created by the design studio Daily tous les jours. This studio is based in Montreal, Canada. They have created and installed interactive art around the world. Their studio focuses on public art, interaction, and urban design. Their works are often located in public spaces where people will stop, play, and engage with the art. "Musical Swings" is located near the NCMA Welcome Center. The swings are easily accessible from the parking lot and from several paved paths. As visitors use these swings, each one emits a light and one note from either a harp, piano, guitar, or vibraphone. When the swings move together, the musical notes combine to create a melody.
