"The Brooklyn-based artist Swoon has joined forces with New Orleans Airlift to create a landmark sculpture in New Orleans. Dithyrambalina will look like a house, but sound like a musical instrument. A growing group of local and national sound artists are experimenting with interactive instruments that can be built into its walls and floorboards allowing visitors and musicians to bring the house to life through their touch. Last fall they debuted prototypes in a temporary installation called THE MUSIC BOX, A Shantytown Sound Laboratory."

How amazing is swoon!? Her papercuts have influenced so many other well-known artists over the years. I ventured to Armadale the other day to see the street art show featuring Swoon, and her works were so captivating. Have a look at the amazing project she did involving artist made boats crafted from junk: here

The whole project looked so amazing, I am speechless!
