Mettiti in luce (Light up yourself) by Luca Carretta, Maria Cristina Cerina and Dimitra Pavlidou:
A seesaw, equipped with lights on both ends, composes this interactive installation. Every time one end of the seesaw touches the ground, it activates a switch lightening the opposite end of the seesaw. Mettiti in luce wishes to involve passers by, make them stop, play and reflect on the fact that one person�s action influences the other, creating and transmitting energy.

Diventa un angelo (Become an angel) by Alessandra Reda, Veronica Perez and Susiana Tjiu:
Back to childhood, forth to becoming an angel. Four swings, featuring wings on each rope, invite everybody to have fun, generate energy and lighten his own wings, to fly for a few minutes and leave the stress behind. Each of the four swings has another size: a standard swing for children, a big swing for adults, one to stand upon and a double swing for lovers.

Accendi il tuo naviglio (Switch) by Ekaterina Vasilnko, Ernesto Sempere Garcia, Alvaro Insua Castro:
Fitted on one of the most important bridges of Naviglio Grande, the most ancient canal in Milan marking the town�s history, Accendi il tuo Naviglio enlightens the architecture with colours and shades. Through a sliding handle the passers-by can choose the colour of the bridge and the intensity of reverberation on the water beneath.
