Tim Hawkinson - Uberorgan

I got tip for Tim Hawkinson's art from my friend. Uberorgan is one of Hawkinson's large scale art works. Quote from oddmusic.com article:

"Several bus-size biomorphic balloons, each with its horn tuned to a different in the octave, make up a walk-in self-playing organ. A 200 foot-long scroll of dots and dashes encodes a musical score of old hymns, pop classics, and improvisational ditties. This score is deciphered by the organ's brain - a bank of light sensitive switches - and then reinterpreted by a series of switches and relays that translate the original patterns into non-repeating variations of the score."

Looks and sounds great!
