Talking Sculpture Unveiled At Lincoln Center on The Upper West Side

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — The Lincoln Center plaza has hosted an assortment of eye catching projects over the past couple of years, including "The Green" lawn and "The Oasis," but now there is a new buzz worthy art installation within the Upper West Side public space.

The "Your Voices" revolving sculpture went on display Tuesday and will remain open until Dec. 18.

The kinetic sculpture is created from 700 glowing cords that will interactively let you hear the 700 languages currently spoken in New York City.

"'Your Voices' is a celebration of cultural connection in the most linguistically diverse place on the planet, New York," reads a news release from Lincoln Center.

The sculpture is the work of contemporary British artist Es Devlin, and commissioned by Moet & Chandon.

The sculpture will rotate north, south, east, and west as people walk through the display.

Languages included within the kinetic chords are Algerian Arabic, Alsation, Azeri, and Ashanti, to Zapotec, Zarma, and Zulu.

During select nights throughout the sculpture's display period there will be free choir performances at 6 p.m. in the Lincoln Center plaza.

The choirs will be from across New York City, performing in languages other than English.

The choirs will include the Harlem Japanese Gospel Choir, Ukrainian Village Voices, Our Chorus NYC, and more.
