Daydreamer, a kinetic musical bench by Daily tous les jours

Can cities be built for collective daydreaming? Rocking has been known to induce a state of daydreaming, proven to lessen stress and anxiety, while opening up the mind to be more intuitive, imaginative at finding solutions by simply letting go for a while.
Daydreamer is a new sculptural series of illuminated, slowly rotating public benches, accompanied by gentle music. Conceived to create a ritual around a moment of pause in the urban realm, the artwork stimulates imagination and relaxation, and encourages a communal, synced up experience in a shared, calming soundscape.
A first set of 3 benchs have been installed in the City of Southbend (US) in the fall of 2022.
