Item Details
At Hyattsville Justice Center, another piece done by Christopher Janney
can be found. Titled Hyattsville Horns, this interactive performance sculpture creates a “sonic portrait” of Prince George’s County. It is composed of 5 colorful, 9-foot tall horn-instrument forms spaced so people can walk among them. There are also a series of “hand plates” that when touched illuminate. The instruments also play a group of environmental, historical and melodic sounds significant to Prince George’s County. The sculpture is lit from dusk to dawn, to give a beautiful engaging piece to the visitors of the center.
