 Okeechobee Music Festival Installations (various artists)

I liked the use of recycled materials (Coffee cans, food cans, other metal) in this piece. It was decorative, an interactive stage, and created a metallic jingling that carried through the campground.

This piece was really interesting because of the carnival-like component. Almost like a ride at a fair, there was a line to get in closer to this metal structure and sit on several bull-riding shapes that stuck out around the bottom. Once enough riders were seated they were instructed to bounce on it. The more you bounced on it the more fire would shoot out of the holes of the snowman shaped metal sculpture. It was fascinating and demonic to witness such a show.

This piece was my least favorite of the installations but still really fun to check out. It was interactive and sturdy and played with a lot of geometry and color that created a kaleidoscope aesthetic.
