21 Swings, Interactive Musical Swings in Montreal
21 Swings (“21 Balançoires”) is an interactive musical installation made up of specially equipped swings. By playing on them, they act as a giant instrument, with some melodies that can only be reached in cooperation with other people. The installation is a project of Mouna Andraos & Melissa Mongiat of design studio Daily tous les jours and can be found annually at MontrĂ©al’s Quartier des Spectacles in the springtime.
The project stimulates ownership of the public space, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds, and creating a place for playing and hanging out in the middle of the city centre.
