This urge can come at the most inopportune moments, like say, in business meetings, or while you’re just walking down a busy street blasting Blondie on your iPod. This is where artist Nick Rodregues’ mixed-media installation the “Porta Party” would come in quite handy. It’s basically a booth in which you and perhaps another party goer enter, dock your ipod, and get funky in a most discreet manner. It’s got a light show and everything. Rodregues sums it up like this:

“If you walk around with a party going on inside your head and your just too shy to bust a move in public. Or if you like partying but hate people. Your prayers have been answered. ‘The ‘porta-party’ is the place you can relieve your need to party it up. Just go inside and plug in. Is this a statement about isolation or just a fun place to make out and do other scandalous activities? Who knows, what I do know is it’s available for rent at your next party.”

One thing I know, is that I probably wouldn’t want to go in there after it’s been “occupied” at a party a couple of times…
