The Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park festival in Philadelphia combines audio-visual art installations and diverse music performances, each influenced by the environment surrounding them. This pile o' railroad spikes is an element in a multimedia immersive installation titled Aspect 281 by John JH Phillips & Carolyn Healy, inspired by the importance of the railroad in Philadelphia’s history. The exhibit includes three 9-foot-high smokestack sculptures, train tracks, signs, and signals, two large video projections, and a quadraphonic sound composition composed primarily of railroad sounds.
