Not to totally get hung up on David Byrne, but his work just appeals to me so much. I'm really into music, noise, and equipment, and he always manages to incorporate those elements. Here, he strung together hundreds of guitar effects pedals and spread them across the floor of a space, and basically forced the audience to participate by walking across them, turning pedals on and off, creating a wash of noise.

Cool idea for a piece, and I like the way the different colored pedals look on the floor for sure. Only thing is, in this picture, it seems I could easily walk around this cluster if I wanted to, instead of having no choice. I'd love to see these wall to wall in a room that I had to walk through...with no alternate route.
