[Scott Morabito, 08/25/2010]Walk along this stretch of sidewalk and you may hear a subway under Denver's streets (there is no subway in Denver), or cows below ground, or even chickens. There is a series of grates along the sidewalk here that are part of a sound installation by a Denver artist named Jim Green. The sounds apparently change over time.

The Soundwalk aural installation is a series of ventilation grates issuing recorded sounds from below the street. Considering the usual fate of any continuous public powered performance, three still operating ain't bad!
