An interactive sound installation with 30 glass jars, each with a vibrating motor, hanging from the ceiling.

Viewed from a distance, the installation makes no sound.
But within a radius of 2-3 meters, the viewer activates 1 out of 4 motion sensors, which sends 3 volt power to the nearby 6 or 9 motors. (see the diagram for explanation.) The motors strikes against the glass jars and makes a sound for about 10 seconds. A new motion from the viewer is needed to reactivate them.

At the minimum of 4 viewers, and by placing themselves strategically around the installation, it is possible to activate all the motors, and the volume will reach its peak.
