Supermarket in C by Malcom Goldie

An experiment in ‘public sound’ - the checkout tills in this supermarket are re-programmed to emit their ‘beeps’ as a random note from within the scale of C Major.

Ends up sounding something like Eno’s Discreet Music, minus all the delay. Soothing, really.

MoMA Atlantic Pacific →

In a gift to the city’s subway riders, MoMA takes over Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street subway station,  filling the station with reproductions of over 50 works of art in the MoMA collection. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, walk through the station to see images of works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Charles Eames, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, and many other great artists, filmmakers, and designers.
This is really awesome. SFMOMA, please follow suit.
