Brickdoor
Sound Wall. I got my photoshop raw update and I return! I recently went to the Bring To Light art festival in Greenpoint a few weeks ago and snapped just a few shots since I got there close to the end of the show and didn’t have my tripod with me.

Psaltery
With 48-foot high ceilings, Psaltery transforms one of Greenpoint’s most dramatic interiors into a monumental acoustic installation. Equipping the massive space with an extensive network of piano wires attached by motorized beaters, Keszler’s installation turns the entire building into an instrument. Positioned to strike in a series of complex and endless patterns, the beaters are activated by a microcontroller, engaging them so that ample time if left between each strike, giving voice to frequencies inherent to the space. Attempting to extend the presence of the emptied building, Psaltery activates a startling energy, turning the unused space into a place that literally resonates with the audience.
Eli Keszler lives and works in New York.
