BOSTON, Sept 23 ― An interactive, glow-in-the-dark playground for adults has been installed in Boston.
“Swing Time” is made up of 20 ring-shaped swings which are fitted with micro-controllers which activate LED lighting when the swing moves, illuminating the outdoor space with blue and purple hues that change according to the motion of the seat.
Custom fabricated from welded polypropylene, the swings emit a static white light when inactive.
Designed in three different sizes to encourage all of Boston's citizens to interact with the installation, the swings are part of an experimental urban park project and a “community laboratory” for the Innovation District and South Boston neighbourhoods.
Created by Howeler+Yoon Architecture, “Swing Time” will be open to the public through October 31. ― AFP-Relaxnews
