Floating pyramids

thriving communities / kinetic artwork / public space / real world game / participation / innovation

Floating pyramids make public spaces more playful by encouraging interaction. Passersby can give the pyramids a push, setting them in motion. However, it’s not just the pyramid being pushed that moves; multiple pyramids are connected, and the push is transferred among them. This way, the sculpture comes to life, changing in response to external influence. It also becomes personal, as everyone can put their own spin on it.
