This is, no joke, my favorite thing I’ve posted on this blog, ever. The International Dance Party is an art installation by Niklas Roy and Adad Hannah that’s activated by dance. Why, what do you mean by that, Alex? Well, I’ll tell you.
Basically, the IDP looks like an unassuming black case, until someone starts dancing next to it. This activates the IDP, and it will slowly start building the party. First, some lights will pop out, and an LED message will scan by saying “Dance to get the party started.” Then, the lights will start pulsing, and the music will get louder. Then it starts belching out fog from the internal fog machine. Then, it turns the lights down in the room.
Yup. It actually turns the lights down. Automatically. When you start partying harder.
Oh, and because I forgot to mention it, the IDP also has built-in speakers to pump the music all night long.
The IDP is currently only available to check out at two upcoming installations, which you can find more info about here. However, I chatted with the creators, and they had this to say:
We have built that machine as an art project - and actually, we haven't thought of a price for it, yet. But since we had already quite a few purchase requests, we would be more than happy to receive suggestions from your readers about what we should charge for it!
So what say you, Materialistas: How much is a party in a box worth to you?
