When did we stop thinking about the Future with Excitment, and start thinking about it in fear. / by Keith Saarloos

21 Swings Exercise in musical cooperation Every spring, an interactive installation takes over a high-traffic area in Montréal’s Quartier des spectacles and sets a collective ritual. The installation offers a fresh look at the idea of cooperation, the notion that we can achieve more together than separately. The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation. The project stimulates ownership of the public space, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds, and creating a place for playing and hanging out in the middle of the city centre. A traveling version of the project is currently being made for these collective moments to spread around the world. dailytouslesjours.com A Project by Daily tous les jours Created by Mouna Andraos & Melissa Mongiat Executive Producer Antoine Clayette (2012), Hugues Monfroy

​How do we spend more time making the world better.
​I want my kids to grow up thinking the Future is about Jetpacks, Ideas, Space, Beauty, Connecting, and Awesome things on Street corners just waiting to be played with....

I still think about the future like that. I still think about the future with a sense of wonder...
​I think the Space Program did that for a lot of people.

How do we get our kids to think that way again..... 
​Not about The Post Apocalyptic and Zombies.​

Enjoy your day.
