Just found out about this instal­la­tion from a tweet today. Wandered on over to YouTube to watch the video. Playing an object isn’t a new idea, it’s been done before. The addi­tion to this instal­la­tion is the trans­par­ent inter­face and the demo­c­ra­tic nature – any vis­i­tor can play the build­ing. In fact they are invited to play.

If you are in the neigh­bor­hood and can get a chance to play — DO. And if you cap­ture some sound and video send us a link and we’ll put it here at heavy­bub­ble. We love par­tic­i­pa­tory ART.
