Electromagnetic Generator Parade
Summary
This participatory project will create a new kind of festival featuring a “generation float” powered by green energy and old appliances modified into musical instruments. The members of the Electromagnetic Native Music Band will process while playing Japanese-style festival music on old appliances powered by electricity from the float. The project aims to conjure up a contemporary collaborative space synthesizing art, engineering, science, and design, realized through a festival event that is accessible to all.
