"21 Balancoires" is a public art installation in Montreal, based on a set of swings operated by people in a public space. Part game, part street furniture, it is a collective musical instrument designed by artists Mouna Andraos and Melissa Mongiat, with the help of Luc-Alain Girardeau, a professor of animal behaviour.
Made up of seven sets of colourful swings, each swing generating its own notes depending on how you swing, the installation offers the passer by a chance to take part in a co operative musical experience, playful and poetic, and derive great pleasure out of it.
A blend of art and urban Design, it brings people together to create music, even people who may not think of themselves as musicians otherwise.
