This project is called The Event of a Thread, by main artist Ann Hamilton. This large scaled installation piece is a field of fourty-two swings on which the audience can sit and swing on. The body weight pulling the swing back and forth also affects the giant curtain’s turbulence, while record players play a chorus in the background. I admire the diversity of elements that the audience can be fascinated by in this piece, in that there are lots for the audience to hear, see, and feel. Through the interaction the audience has with the work, they can influence the piece and see how the piece changes.

Over twenty people including the artist, composer, advisor, producer and so on were involved in creating this piece.
