These are examples of a concept, Sound is an invisible color
I love to color, I love to paint. I just sort of love to go crazy
There's one great example where I was really into this idea about
immersive experience, which I thought that you get that in architecture
so I put my bedsheets up on the wall
and I painted on them
magic marker and acrylic paint, just making these big
colorful ... this will be great, I'll sleep in the art
of course I woke up the next day and I got the paint all over me
It was very much me -- what can I do just to climb in to art, climb into the color and the experience
that was really what set me on this path
of being able to somehow combine
visual art and music, in some kind of
architectural context
In about 1991, now we started to have public art projects
It's a law - one percent of a building's construction budget
in 42 states, and it's a federal law
has to go toward works of art
that was nowhere to be found when I got out of Princeton
but it was like, when I saw it: I'm trained as an architect,
This is me. I can have a career doing this.
One of the first ones was for the Miami Airport and
I could say look, I'm going to make an abstraction of South Florida
in color and sound
For people that come into or go out of the airport
It's going to help ground them as to where they are in the country
And you also hear -- in that case sounds of the Everglades and parts of South Florida
But you make this immersive enviroment
we now have this added direction of children's hospitals
that's really sort of a new focus for me
It really started with Boston Children's Hospital
They'd seen a piece that was at the Boston Museum of Science
We built one for this existing stairway
and the first day I turned it on I said "oh my god"
I missed this whole thing -- there it is, right in front of me
Children -- at the top of the stairs, they're in tears. By the time they get to the bottom, they're laughing
and having fun, the parents are relieved
what a great place for my work!
At the same time, I'm still working on a performance with Karole Armitage
a very famous choreographer, for Art Basel
which is the biggest art fair in the US
in Miami
We'll also do a version of Heartbeat, which is the piece I did with Mikhail Baryshnikov
all those things -- that performance side of my life -- is very
important to me and it then fuels the ideas that come out in the architectural
installations, but it's important for me to go back and forth between those things
