Listen: Day 45


This is "The Place Where You Go to Listen" at the Museum of the North, a unique space that uses light and sound to interpret real-time environmental observations from around Alaska. Constantly evolving, the music of this room changes with the rhythm of the earth. Sub-woofers rumble when seismic activity is high, melodic tones are created based on the position of the sun and moon, and bell-like sounds are produced during periods of active aurora borealis. With oranges and blues, the colors of the room mimic the changing shades of light outside. We visited in the afternoon, just as the sun was beginning to set.
