Creative Time présente "
Playing the Building", une installation par David Byrne au
Battery Maritime Building de New York, et ce, jusqu'au 10 août 2008.
Après une première exposition en 2005 à la
Färgfabriken de Stockholm,
David Byrne (ex Talking Heads) récidive à New York en transformant le Great Hall du
Battery Maritime Building en un gigantesque instrument musical!
Chaque touche de
l'orgue est reliée à des mécanismes attachés aux poutres du plafond, aux conduites d'électricité, aux tuyauteries et à d'autres pans de la structure et le public peut ainsi "jouer de l'immeuble"!
Creative Time Presents "
Playing the Building", an installation by
David Byrne at
The Battery Maritime Building in New York.
"
Playing the building is a
sound installation in which the infrastructure, the physical plant of the building, is converted into a
giant musical instrument. Devices are attached to the building structure — to the metal beams and pillars, the heating pipes, the water pipes — and are used to make these things produce sound.
The activations are of three types: wind, vibration, striking. The devices do not produce sound themselves, but they cause the building elements to vibrate, resonate and oscillate so that the building itself becomes a
very large musical instrument!"
