We stopped by the old Battery Maritime Building to "Play" the building. We first had to sign a waiver acknowledging the poor condition of the building and waiving our rights to sue if we were injured. The building wasn't in that bad of shape, however. The artist, David Byrne, hooked up an old organ to various parts of the building. Playing the keyboard played different parts of the building. We wonder if he was inspired by the knocking of his radiators??? Check out his website: http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/art_projects/playing_the_building/index.php
Take a listen; the last picture is a short video!
