Hasta La Ideas

Part performance piece and part product abuse, California-based artist Evan Holm’s “Submerged Turntables” installation does, well, what it says on the tin. Holm built a sort of woodland-themed installation in his studio, complete with trees and a small body of water, then broke everything down to truck it over to the SF MoMA’s atrium, where he was invited to re-install it and perform.

This first video isn’t of the MoMA atrium, but does reveal what a record sounds like when played underwater:
