Miss Pogana’s Flirt, 1969. Alex Mlynárčik. Exhibited in Apollinaire Gallery in Milan, Italy. (1934) in his homage to Constantin Brâncuşi used plastic eggs that emitted ringing sounds after being set in motion by spectators. Interactive environment changing, through a visitor’s gesture, was not merely the constellation of objects but also the acoustic quality of space.
