Kurt Perschke's RedBall. This ball travels the world, the idea behind it is to change spectators of art into participants. He says the project's true essence is all about the collective imagination and invitation to engage. People have approached him, asking when it will come to their city. The RedBall started out in London, and has since showed up in places like Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Chicago, Portland, Toronto, Sydney and Taipei.

Michael Hill's Forgotten Songs in Sydney, Australia. The 180 empty birdcages play the songs of 50 birds that once lived in central Sydney. It is said to be a magical experience.
