The piece of Art named "Time Square" is produced by artist Max Neuhaus. It is created by emitting sound under the center of Time Square. Because there are tunnels of different lengths under Time Square, people will hear different sounds when standing at different places because of resonance. Max and his assistants described this piece art as sculpture. Usually sculpture is perceived by eye, but ears are also able to feel the object. Besides, this piece of art share several characteristics with sculpture. At different places and angles, you feel differently towards the sound. The significance of the sound changes with the time of the day, just as the perception of sculpture changes with light. According to Max, Time Square is a place possessed by expensive real estates and deserted by art. His sound adds art to this deserted place.
In essence, his piece of sound art is the same with what we were doing. They are all using the form of sound to convey a message (in his case, creating the feeling of sculpture and adding art to Time Square). Like critiquing our art, I think the genre his piece of art is ambient. The major difference bewteen his and ours is the scale of the art(his is at Time Square...).
