This is a neat little instalation we found down in Battery Park.  I imagine a city filled with instalations such as this, enlightening people to there suroundings and creating a brighter, friendlier comute.  Recently I have been facinated by the theory of play.  My interest was recently peaked by a TED Talk by Dr Stuart Brown at a conference called Serious Play that took place last year.  It seems obvious that play is good, but the benifits to enjoying a state of play at all stages in life are astounding.
