Kinetic Swinging in NYC but we missed it!

On what fun! A group swinging event in NYC. From the moment I saw the photos of this art exhibit by Ann Hamilton I wished I could have experienced it.

 

Oh, the exhilaration,  the motion, and the group dynamics. I would have loved to have visited this installation at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC but it has just closed. 

I have been seeing photos of it around the web all month but no video. Does anyone have a video of it with people swinging? 

I'd love to here about the experience of swinging. I am not so sure about the 42 pigeons also in the exhibit but, oh the swings!

If you went please share your thoughts in the comments!

There was a really nice swing installation at the World Maker Faire in 2011. Here is video of the swing in action:

I just viewed the video mentioned above by Lady Angora at http://bcove.me/ax2zyb4z. It is a wonderful interview with the artist Ann Hamilton. It has some excellent motion footage. I still don't understand the pigeons and the readers but the swings creating the motion of the curtain is wonderful. Thanks for providing the link.
