Tip Tap - Permanent interactive mobile lawn

When the public go on the lawn it swings and utters sounds.
Under the lawn there are three boxes containing objects. When the lawn swings the objects make fixed movements producing many kinds of sound. The sound is captured by three microphones and uttered by eight loudspeakers, placed in the pit under the lawn.

The work is the result of a public art project commissioned by the former psychiatric hospital Paolo Pini of Milan and was made after a workshop, which lasted six months, with some users of the remaining medical centre.
