Location: 34th Street/Herald Square

Located along the platforms of the BMT Broadway line. This piece consists of a rack hanging along each platform with sensors along the length. Waving your hand in front of a sensor creates a corresponding sound from the rack-- on the other side of the station. People on the opposite platforms can interact using the instrument.
