Gypsy Pond XII on VIMEO!!!

Enjoy THIS.  The sound is generated by people walking on a sidewalk...with an Arduino/vidcamera sensor hookup "measuring human activity"!  The more people, the busier the music.  The 20 foot sculpture reaches to the sky...with it's many arms symbolizing "many paths, many truths" - but striving none the less.  The Kerosene flames below symbolize the human heart, ever fervent, ever searching.  Corny? Not really.  Hard to do? VERY! (imagine a floating 20-foot sculpture, and building a stable base that will keep it afloat in 50-mph wind - we did!!).  Yep.
