Art generates energy installation Swing in Portugal



The Berlin design Bureau Moradavaga recently created an amazing art installation in Portugal, which was called Swing. Just swinging on a swing from the normal materials like wooden planks and hemp rope – it is possible to generate energy, which is then used subsequently to illuminate.



   

Presented as part of a program promoting the culture promoted in Guimaraes – European capital of culture in 2012, installation of the Swing shows that it is not necessary to spend a lot of money or use high technology to very simple to solve global environmental problems facing humanity.

The mechanism is hidden in the wooden panels of the installation, which is currently outside of the International Centre of Arts josé de Guimaraesha. Swing is just one of many scattered all over the place for Guimaraes in the framework of the promotion of eco-the original eco-projects, such as the installation of "Movie the mechanic" from the tube.
