Design Problem
Our goal is to design an activity or game to be installed or used in the Windsor Town Green that encourages or prompts interaction between individuals in an effort to build or enhance it's community. In order to meet the project requirements, we need to create a piece of art that will incite interaction between all users of the Town Green; all ages are welcome and interactions between strangers is the goal, achieved through providing common ground for conversation. This must be done without detriment to the Town Green aesthetic: one of open space and quiet atmosphere. Users are given the opportunity to talk to someone new, but are not required to make this connection.
Design Problem Solution
Our proposed solution is a set of artistic sculptures that make up multiple musical instruments. Made mostly from metal and wood, many different types of percussion instruments can be included, each with a different sound. This structure would create an activity that people of any age can engage in with multiple other people or by themselves. People could choose to participate by playing along, bring their own instrument to accompany, or simply spectate as do many people for street performances in cities.
