Use the pointer in a web page to make cool sounds, like a synth control. Like have a box and when you move the cursor in it, based on the movements, different sounds happen.

Do the same with multiple agents. Different visitors to the site can “join” the box as a colored circle that moves as they move their cursor in the box. The resulting music (“symphony”) is played back (feedback loop) in aggregate form to all visitors. Some physics can be included to handle collisions, etc. like the multi-agent sound thing we played with during one of the breaks at ICCS. Except here, the agents are intelligent human beings rather than “just” simulated agents moving in a random walk and interacting with other agents.
PS: this is also an example realization of one of your other ideas: “Make an electronic musical instrument that a group can play together.”
Ooooo interesting. I read the instrument comment before this one. What if the agents still had some of their flocking behavior? So its part intelligent human beings/ part flocking!
