‘playing the building’ is an installation created by david byrne a small organ sits in the massive building, with wires spawning from the back. touching the keys willnot play the note you expect to hear, but rather play the building. the wires are sending signals to a variety of mechanisms, which vibrate columns, radiators and beams in the building. The best part is anyone can play with equal skill. Byrne calls it the democratization of music.
