Fun musical house.
Is it art or just plain fun? In concept, this seems like a fun thing to do--turn your house into an environmentally responsive machine. We think of architecture as stable, oddly permanent. It frustrates us when it leaks and creaks, crumbles and flakes.Â
A "Singing House" takes that temporal aspect of architecture and makes it visible (well, audible). Somehow this simultaneously allows us to see the stability of architecture as something fluid and brings to life the inanimate of the architectural ideal.
The Singing House is a member of the class of RVs--homes that are not homes.
Of course, in practice, this is an exercise in beauty. So, maybe, if this was your house, what starts in novelty as something playful, ends in an experience of the world, an electric connection with nature. Art.
What makes a fun object?
Here's an example of the ironic approach--an electronic candle powered by a real candle.Â
In this case, the irony is such that the object is a kind of intriguing joke. The candle that is not a candle that needs a candle to run. It's a pure form of fun object, a thing that is not the thing that is claims to be.
Nudge nudge, wink wink.
Magic only works when we know that there is some trick, something more than meets the eye, at work.
Impossible bottles compress the wonder of magic into a single object--something impossible but obviously possible. It's a trick to be sure, but the method is not obvious, and the fun of the object is experienced in its contradiction of common sense and form. "How do you get those things in the bottle?"
