Electric Pump in a Sculpture?

A couple weeks ago I bought an electrical air mattress pump. I have been debating on using electric parts in my pieces, but I have decided to try it and see how it works. The piece I am going to build will be a wall piece and I am thinking of including some sort of off/on switch or motion sensor that will turn the pump on and off. Either of these additions will add a different interactive component to the piece to turn it on.
