Playing the Building

Great Hall, Battery Maritime Building

I've been thinking about my final project for the term, which will be some sort of sound installation. I know that I want something that is interactive and that can't be created IRL. In order to focus my ideas, I've been looking at some real life sound installations. Today I came across this project by David Byrne, who used the infrastructure of a building and converted it into a gigantic instrument. He attaches things to the walls, pipes, and beams to make them create sound. I find this fascinating because it's not only an extremely interesting project conceptually, but aesthetically as well.
