英国·用集体运动和音乐重塑公共长椅

Musical Swings、Daily tous les jours 背后的创作者正在通过 Daydreamer 将集体运动的概念提升到新的高度。Daydreamer 是一系列雕塑般的互动式缓慢摇动的长凳，可创作轻柔的音乐并鼓励同步编舞。

The creators behind the Musical Swings, Daily tous les jours, are taking the concept of collective motion to new heights with Daydreamer—a sculptural series of interactive, slowly rocking benches that compose gentle music and encourage synced-up choreographies.

该艺术作品旨在围绕片刻的停顿创造一种仪式，在舒缓的音景中激发公共体验。Daydreamer 长凳可根据不同的室内和室外环境进行扩展和定制。

Conceived to create a ritual around a moment of pause, the artwork stimulates a communal experience in a soothing soundscape.Daydreamer benches are scalable and customizable for diverse indoor and outdoor settings.

城市可以为集体白日梦而建造吗？

Daydreamer 重塑了公共长凳，鼓励缓慢、摇摆、同步的运动，为公共空间带来治疗效果。

Can cities be built for collective daydreaming? 

Daydreamer reinvents the public bench, encouraging slow, rocking, synchronous motions to bring a therapeutic quality to public space.

据不同研究表明，摇动行为被认为能够诱导人们进入幻想状态，减轻压力和焦虑感。而同步活动则加强了社群的社交联系和同理心，这种效果在活动结束后的一段时间内仍然存在。

Rocking is known to induce a state of daydreaming, reducing stress and anxiety, while synchronous activity, according to different studies, strengthens social attachment and empathy among a group well beyond the moment of coming together.

组件和交互Components & Interaction

一组旋转长凳上装有声音和传感系统。 每张长凳最多可容纳四人，采用加拿大白橡木制成，配有粉末涂层铝制拱门。 交互式 LED 灯集成在拱门和座椅下方，以强调运动。

A set of revolving long benches host a sound and sensing system. Each bench accommodates up to four people and is finished in Canadian white oak, with a powder-coated aluminum arch. Interactive LED lights are integrated in the arch and under the seat to emphasize movement.

当人们坐下并推着长凳摇摆或旋转时，音乐和灯光动画就会通过运动检测触发，融合模拟和数字运动。 长凳可以四分之四地摇动，或者在用户稍微推一下的情况下旋转 360°。 人们可以坐在长凳上或站立或坐在轮椅上握住拱门来演奏音乐。 无论人们如何玩耍，长凳枢轴中心内的机构都会确保运动缓慢。

When people sit and push the benches to rock or spin, music and light animations are triggered through motion detection, merging analog and digital movements. The benches rock in four quarters, or rotate 360˚ with a bit more push from the user. People may sit on the bench or hold the arch from a standing position, or from a wheelchair, to make music. No matter how people play, the mechanism inside the benches’ pivot centre ensures the motion is slow.

声音与协作Voices & Collaboration

Daydreamer 的所有声音都是人声的录音。 所唱的音符取决于长凳的位置和行进方向。 音量由移动速度决定。 通过将多个音乐参数映射到不同的物理状态，在身体运动和音乐之间建立了强大的手势联系。 每个长凳所占据的音域略有不同； 女高音、女低音和男高音。 当板凳同步移动时，声音会唱出更复杂的分区，以鼓励玩家之间的协作。 这个整体是一张充满张力、释放、运动和静止的不断演变的挂毯。

All the sounds of Daydreamer are recordings of the human voice. The notes that are sung depend on the position of the bench and direction of travel. Volume is dictated by the speed of movement. By mapping multiple musical parameters to different physical states, a strong gestural link is created between body movement and music. Each bench occupies a slightly different musical register; soprano, alto, and tenor. Voices sing more complex partitions when benches are moved in synchronicity to encourage collaboration between players. The ensemble is an evolutive tapestry of tension, release, motion, and stillness.

多元化与包容性Diversity & Inclusion

该艺术品旨在创造包容和多元化的社会空间。 非常缓慢的板凳旋转可以确保老人和儿童的安全玩耍。 握住拱形板即可转动长凳，方便坐轮椅的人进行音乐创作。 由此产生的混合声音、运动和光线的柔和景观以舒缓的方式提供感官多样性。 Daydreamer 通过邀请广大受众通过欢乐进行探索和联系，激发了广泛的非正式联系。

The artwork aims to create inclusive and diverse social spaces. Very slow bench rotations make for safe playing for elders and children alike. The bench can be turned by holding the arch, easing the music-making exercise for those in wheelchairs. A resulting soft spectacle mixing sound, movement, and light offers sensory diversity in a soothing manner. Daydreamer stimulates a wide range of informal connections by inviting a very wide audience to explore and connect through joy.

玩耍Play

Daily tous les jours 以创造自由、有趣的户外和互动城市设施而闻名，在公共空间中激发欢乐，一直倡导玩耍的重要性及其对健康和福祉的积极影响。 白日梦者装置邀请公众直接与作品互动。它提供了一个围绕减压时刻的简单仪式，因此，正如作品的标题一样，公众的想象力被激发出来，公共空间成为城市居民的放松场所。

Known for creating free, playful outdoor and interactive urban installations that spark joy within public spaces, Daily tous les jours has been pioneering the importance of play and its positive impacts on health and wellbeing. The Daydreamer installation invites members of the public to interact directly with the work. It provides a simple ritual around a moment of decompression so that, as per the title of the work, the public’s imagination is called into play, and the public space becomes a place of relaxation for urban dwellers.

第一个三重奏First Trio

作为振兴工作的一部分，美国印第安纳州南本德市安装了第一组三张长椅，旨在将公民与河滨重新连接起来。 动感音乐长凳让路人能够融入自然景观，同时在城市中创造一个平静和协作的新空间。

A first set of three benches were installed in the city of South Bend, Indiana (US) as part of revitalization efforts to reconnect citizens to their riverfront. The kinetic musical benches allow passers-by to tune in to the natural landscape, while creating a new space for calm and collaboration in the city.
