Why cant I be my kid? Phineas has shipped off for 3.5 weeks at Sleep-away camp in New Hampshire, where he and 90 other kids will spend a month creating a site-specific work of art in the woods--- as his oh-so Brooklyn based camp tells me: “Swingtones, ” is an interactive audible and visual installation designed by landscape architects Supermass Studio and Sage and Coombe Architects. Campers will construct a collection of distinctive wooden swings and metal chimes that will be installed throughout the forest. As the swings oscillate at various speeds and amplitudes, the hanging chimes respond proportionally in sound and motion—the farther the swing, the bigger and merrier the sound gets. As the campers simultaneously ride the swings, they will create and experience a symphony of floating forest bells. I am embarrassed and also, in awe. Reminder to write check to help other non-spoiled kids make things too...
