SHARED MUSIC ON THE EDGE OF TOWN /// After the midnight concerts during weekdays of "The pianos at night" of the precedent editions of "Jouez, je suis à vous", Happy City Lab has proposed in 2015 The Lost Piano, a new way to cross borders, from the city as well from the mind. The Lost Piano is a new way of pushing back the boundaries, both physical - of the city - and psychological, and a new musical experience set in the [...]

MUSICAL SITUATION /// From Wednesday 8 to Tuesday 21 June 2015, 60 street pianos brought music to the streets of 20 municipalities of “Greater Geneva”. Located in public parks, streets and squares the pianos were available for the public to play and enjoy creating magical encounters, thanks to the great social bonding tool of a shared love of music. Play Me, I'm Yours is a social and artistic project by Luke Jerram (www.lukejerram.com) which we've been organising in Switzerland since 2011 [...]

GIANT TOY /// This sculpture created by Happy City Lab is an installation in free appropriation. Equipped with a microphone on the back, linked to a voice modulator and a speaker, this human size robot reminds of the esthetic of toys from the 50’s. It allows anyone to speak with a funny robotic voice. The user disappears behind the sculpture and give life to the robot. This urban installation took place as part of the « Robot Year 2015 » in [...]

CREATIVE ZONE /// The Factory was a creative zone inside the 2015 Geneva International Book and Press Fair where visitors became active participants through writing and drawing. Young and old were given the chance to express themselves on paper with no limits of time, language or talent. Creative prompts were given for each space and everything at hand became a medium for writing and posting: notebooks, colored papers, scissors, Scotch tape, staplers, walls, clothes lines. This organized chaos allowed authors invited to the Book Fair and visitors to [...]

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE /// Life Upside Down invites you to explore a fake apartment, furnished and decorated like a sitcom set, wearing prism glasses that invert your vision. It has been presented in Carouge's Printemps Carougeois in April 2015. Visitors are encouraged to carry out everyday tasks in each of the rooms - but in a displaced world where perceptions of themselves and their environment are completely altered. Playful and startling, Life Upside Down was an experience not to be missed!

SOLEMN MOMENTS /// Sing the national anthem in a collective karaoke and get teleported to the Palais Fédéral, or nearly!

The newly Swiss can discover Daniel Würzel's arial creation Pas de deux, sing the national anthem in a collective karaoke, have their photo taken in front of [...]

After a first edition in the Châtelaine quarter in Novembre 2013, Vernier Street Art has welcomed Dan Acher's new creation Turn Me On, which gave life to buildings in Vernier. Turn Me On initiates twilight urban safari where passers-by press giant, launching monumental eyes and mouths on building façades. Ephemeral on the walls, these images live long in the imagination. As you explore, eyes [...]
