POP! brings out the inner child in you.
The project is designed to spark collective joy and to deepen a sense of connection between passersby and the public spaces that surround them.
Working as a giant jack-in-the-box, the goal is to free the creatures by talking or even singing to them. As encouragement builds, the monolith's gauge gradually lights up. And if participants succeed in releasing all 5 at the same time, they’ll offer the spectators a show!
“The more sound they hear, the more energy they take on, until they are wiggling and giggling themselves.”
