Yesterday we participated in this intriguing interactive art installation, that is part of Hobart’s MONA FOMA weekend. (Museum of Old and New Art, Festival of Music and Art.)
We relaxed in these cocoon like hammocks, with sensors that picked up our heartbeat. The gentle sway was quite hypnotic and totally relaxing. The heartbeats formed an audio background but felt internal, somehow adding to a sense of silence and peace.

Those look so peaceful, I’d have to be asked to leave at closing time!

Over five minutes, Jo, it all felt very relaxed, not rushed.

That MONA has such unusual exhibits. Some quite controversial… Love the idea of this hammock, could easily send you to sleep

Yes, a real mix of exhibits, but always promotes discussion. My husband and i have very different tastes in art.
