Players are prompted to step on different circles and must pay attention to the rule as they change and become more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.dailytouslesjours.com\/files\/2016\/07\/MesaMusicalShadows_11_Tiles_DTLJ_@DavidDrury.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Musical Shadows<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Musical Shadows is interactive pavement. It uses light sensors that are able to play different tones and music as your shadow moves or dances around, playing interactive music based on  movement. The music will actually change throughout the day based on the intensity of the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.dailytouslesjours.com\/files\/2019\/12\/SecretChord_DailyTLJ_PhotoGeoffreyBoulange_04-768x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>I heard there was a secret chord <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard there was a secret chord is an art installation that  plays the song hallelujah. The sound can get louder or quieter based on how many people are listening to that song at a given moment and it displays the amount of people listening to that song. All of this takes place in an octagon room with microphones hanging from the ceiling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Musical Swings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.dailytouslesjours.com\/files\/2011\/04\/MusicalSwings_Dailytouslesjours_PhotoByCushyCreative.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption>Musical Swings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my favorite one of her artworks that she was part of. This art installation consists of 21 musical swings that are all interactive. Each swing allows you to play music with your entire body by swinging and prompts you to collaborate with others and swing at the same time. Swinging at the same time will play better sounding music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Musical Swings installation was created in 2011, the installation has become a celebrated icon of Montreal\u2019s entertainment district, returning seasonally every spring. As a result of its success, a touring version of the Musical Swings was created and has been traveling the world, receiving a number of international awards and recognitions. A new permanent version of the work is also available for cities around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each swing triggers notes from a classical instruments: piano, guitar, harp and vibraphone. A color code indicates which instrument is played and invites the public to try different seats. The higher the swing, the higher the note. When the swings move together in unison, they create a musical composition through which unique melodies can emerge if participants cooperate. The gentle, kinetic quality of the acoustic sounds blends seamlessly into the environment in which it is located in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaboration is rewarded when participants swing at the same rate, triggering more complex melodies. This system allows for the people swinging to feel like they are writing and playing music with their entire bodies and encourages team work in order to produce the best musical sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conculusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This designer really focuses on having the public come together and create something better. By having people come together and play games, dance, and make music she is creating a better world where people can interact with each-other in a fun manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Mouna Andraos Mouna Andraos is a Co-Founder of Daily tous les jours.
