"Max Neuhaus’s Times Square is a rich harmonic sound texture emerging from the north end of the triangular pedestrian island located at Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets in New York City. Originally installed at this site from 1977 to 1992, the Times Square Street Business Improvement District (BID), and Christine Burgin collaborated with MTA Arts for Transit and Dia to reinstate the project in May of 2002." It now runs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, emanating a beautiful soundscape in sharp contrast to the plastic, billboard mania that characterizes the rest of the area.
