About
Musical Swings
By Daily tous les jours
The Musical Swings is a giant collective musical installation from which certain melodies emerge only through cooperation between players, thus stimulating a sense of community and ownership of space.
The Swings are an interactive public installation designed to encourage collaborative behaviors between strangers. The Swings bring vibrancy by gathering people of all ages and backgrounds and leads people to become aware of each other.
Artist Bio:
Over the past ten years, the Montreal-based art and design studio, Daily tous les jour, have signed original artworks in more than 40 cities around the world.
Daily’s work invites humans to play a critical role in the transformation of their environment, building more resilient cities. They created the world-acclaimed Musical Swings, a large-scale urban artwork that invites passersby to make music together, with their entire body.
Recent projects include Musical Shadows in Dubai UAE, an interactive pavement that reacts to people’s shadows with singing voices; Hello Trees in Houston TX, an interactive promenade for humans to converse with trees, and the meditative experience I Heard There Was a Secret Chord currently touring the US and Europe.
