Hamsterrad

The 'hamsterrad' or human hamster wheel is an interactive installation. Participants choose a record in advance and put it on the record player. As soon as participants walk or run in the human hamster wheel they generate electricity for the record player that starts spinning. It is up to them to keep the records in tune...or not..

Suitable for both children and adults.
