On the artsy-fartsy scale, this exhibition by Mungo Thomson at the John Connelly Presents gallery is pretty high in the stratosphere. Peep what the website explains:

“b/w, a sound work on a white vinyl 12″ LP,applies a principle drawn from marine audio research—where certain deep-sea recordings are inaudible until sped up 16x—to commercial nature relaxation records. One side of b/w speeds up whole albums of humpback whalesong 16x until they resemble birdsong; the other side slows down tracks from birdsong albums 16x until they resemble whalesong. The “birdsong” plays outside onto 27th Street, the “whalesong” plays inside the gallery.”

Picture disks and marine animals? This was MADE for me!
