Neat swing in downtown Montreal where you make music, and get better tunes if you cooperate!
Musical Swing in Montreal
I am always on the lookout for tech that uses microcontrollers etc.
I'm generally down on techie art sculptures such as this. This is not because I don't like art, but I want to see this kind of ingenuity aimed at more "practical" industrial/commercial enterprises with a dire human need. Hunger, the disabled, international diplomacy, education etc.
That said, this swing is pretty cool, and certainly seemed to attract a diverse group of people to use it.
Perhaps a our growing lack of empathy necessitates this kind of reconnection with one another and IS a dire human need! Fountains, parks, and other public spaces are not necessarily vital, but they do provide a vital public service (just look at Central Park, Hyde Park, Golden Gate Park and other large urban planned green areas). Have to noodle on this.
