Soundwalk - Denver, CO - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Soundwalk is located under the sidewalk on Curtis Street next to the Federal Reserve building. The piece is unassuming to the eye - stainless steel grates in the sidewalk. But when a person walks by and triggers the motion sensors, the show begins! You may hear a drum piece, the subway (Denver does not have a subway!), chickens, etc. I have 'recorded' some of the current sound pieces (visit link) . There are many different pieces of sound; they change over time, so it is always a surprise! Sound Artist Jim Green's site includes this enjoyable video (it takes a minute or so to start) (visit link) .

This is an often overlooked (OK, maybe underheard?) public art located in downtown Denver.

TITLE: Soundwalk ARTIST(S): Jim Green DATE: 1992 MEDIUM: Metal grates and sound CONTROL NUMBER: IAS CO000490 Direct Link to the Individual Listing in the Smithsonian Art Inventory: [Web Link] PHYSICAL LOCATION: On the north side of Curtis street between 14th and 15th Denver, CO 80202 USA DIFFERENCES NOTED BETWEEN THE INVENTORY LISTING AND YOUR OBSERVATIONS AND RESEARCH: This wonderful piece is a joy to both 'trigger' and watch others 'discover' the unusual sounds. It works a majority of the time. Sounds include drums, roars, trains, etc. I sometimes walk this way just to enjoy the piece. You are welcome to embed the link of the recordings for others to enjoy.
