Awaken Optimistorkestern: a Place-Specific Toy for Adults in Front of the Concert House in Malmö

Awaken Optimistorkestern is a place-specific toy for adults. It has been designed for a public outdoor area at a newly build concert house in Malmö Sweden, called Malmö Live. The design was inspired by the most photographed sculpture in Malmö, Optimistorkestern by Yngve Lundell. The sculpture consists of four musicians, a trumpet, tuba and oboe, and a conductor and stands in the city centre of the Malmö, Sweden. The toy is a projection of the marching musicians on the windows of Malmö Live. As the public walks in front of them, the musicians turn to the public and release a note.
