Playing the Building, David Byrne installation




This is a sound installation in which the infrastructure of the Battery Maritime Building has been converted into a giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building-to the metal beams and pillars, heating pipes, water pipes-and are used to produce sound, and there are three types of activations: wind, vibration, striking. 

10 South Street
