Although the sculpture’s size and flat black color command attention, standing in its presence invites a sense of calmness to an otherwise chaotic environment. Just as Eno created a series of music pieces that strive to change the audio atmosphere of a bustling airport, Night invites a break away from its environment riddled with color, movement, and texture. With that in mind, it seemed obvious to pair Night with a piece of Airport-esque ambient music.
