Up into the air works with light, rhythm and sound to create an interactive welcoming environment. As participants swing they triggers light and sound reactions in the surrounding area.

This work is adaptable and can light up any structure in a surround area I any colour. The sound is also changeable and is designed to creative a narrative inspired by the exhibition site. With each forward swing rotation people can control sound, lights and colour in the area, for example lighting up trees creating a magical environment.

The playground swing is one of life’s simplest pleasures. Feeling your suspended body move through space, rising and falling in a fixed arc that flows first with then against, the pull of gravity, is both thrilling and reassuring.  It remains a peerless, timeless invention and an open invitation to play, for children and adults alike.
