Question: Ideas for a piece of site-specific art!.!.!.!?
Please help I'm really stuck for this one!. We've been asked to:

"Introduce an object and a sound into an area on campus"

It can be indoors or outdoors, basically its one of those arty musicy things, and its so annoying, because I can't think of a good one to do!. Anyone got any ideas!? I'm really stuck!. It's got "mean something"!.

Extremely grateful, thank youWww@QuestionHome@Com

A mobile made from metal that, as the wind moves the pieces, they make tinkling sounds!. Basically, a wind chime!.

In San Francisco, there is a bay side park that has an installation of metal pipes leading to the water!. As the waves lap against the ends of the pipes, they make hollow ringing sounds that reverbate along the rest of the piple making some very nice, musical "pops" and rings!.

You can collaborate with some other school electronic dweebs that can construct a motion sensor device!. With an array of sensors, it can be set up to "play" a different sound as a person passed in front of each sensor, instead of triggering a light switch!. Each sensor could be installed in a different sculpture, like an artificial flower arrangement!. Or, how about attached to some kind of mirror, so that the sound is played as each passer saw himself in the mirror!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
