You’re Standing Inside the Instrument: A Score for 19 Buildings

May 1 — Sept. 13, 2026 | Listen Hear Gallery | CAMi

You’re Standing Inside the Instrument: A Score for 19 Buildings is a collaborative sound-and-video installation that invites visitors to experience architecture in a new way — as an instrument. For the exhibition, 19 Indianapolis-based artists are each creating a short sound work using a single Indianapolis building as the sole sound source. A panel of locally based architects and built-environment experts selected the buildings, grounding the project in sites of architectural, cultural, and material significance across the city.

Presented across multiple listening and viewing stations, the works create an evolving installation in which sound and image intersect and overlap. Each composition is accompanied by a silent, static video portrait of the building that generated it.
