| | | | Thing is, I could see how this could be interesting. Have someone strum a chord, or pick the guitar up and pick a few notes, then start playing around with the pedals, or use a looper to feed the pedals tones over and over...but aside from looking at a zillion dollars worth of Boss pedals, I don't see the "art" in that at all. That's not art. That's just some pedals.

| | | | That's 8K or more worth of pedals? Even used, you're into a few thousand bucks.

The picture of this little boy experimenting with it is actually pretty cool, IMHO. 
As regards the price, I'll bet it's cheaper than most pieces of art on display in museums. It's interactive, creative, and interesting. More details about the installation here.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Birmingham, UK | | | I think it's a good concept, perhaps it could be done a little better, but I don't understand why everyone seems to be objecting to it so much? I'm not particularly well versed in installations or art at all for that matter, but I mean who is to say how valuable/important/relevant it is as an artwork?
Besides, a few thousand dollars to create a piece really isn't that much when you put it into perspective considering a lot of art out there. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Victoria, BC, Canada | | I think it's a really cool idea. The video of it is kinda poopy but if there was something more interesting musically going on it would be really neat. I know I could mess around with that setup for hours.  |

Looking at it, I think a better way to execute it would be to have put all the pedals under a case of some kind and figure out a way to make it easier to walk on, but still be able to activate the pedals, so that you can stand over the pedals and randomly activate them by walking, as opposed to tip-toeing over them.
This is actually a project that I want to execute one day, but I like sound, installation and interactive art.

| | | | Ive always thought it would be cool to split the signal from a guitar or something and feed it to pedals in random locations throughout a venue and then encourage people to find them all and get in on the fun. that video truly blows though as far as that goes.

David Byrne is cooler than any of us, so coolness isn't really a factor one can consider.
It's an art installation, I'm sure it can produce great tones if you get lucky in your random walk. |
