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.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/art_projects/playing_the_building/index.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.davidbyrne.com/img/642A9115-490A-4995-A3F3-CF13EAC78B48" alt="Battery Maritime Building: PTB Mockup 2008" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/art_projects/playing_the_building/index.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.davidbyrne.com/img/8979F667-4CB8-4CCD-9159-2B64267B111C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/art_projects/playing_the_building/index.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.davidbyrne.com/img/0C66A4F3-FB99-4D92-B966-28693C1B492F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/art_projects/playing_the_building/index.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.davidbyrne.com/img/A04140DA-4253-4B73-8A42-A5D37042ED1B" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/art_projects/playing_the_building/index.php"><P><SPAN class="blueSubhead">RECORDINGS: </SPAN>Stockholm, 2005: • <A href="#">Watch</A> a phonecam video recording of the installation at the opening • <A href="#">Listen</A> to an audio recording of visitors playing the building • <A href="#">Listen</A> to an audio recording of Andrew Drown playing the building • <A href="#">Listen</A> to an audio recording of Ewa Berglund playing the building</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/27636A94-4C1B-4D32-9664-21D223F440B8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
