This is an interesting experiment in which a world-class classical musician performed at a DC metro station during a morining rush hour. The object of the experiement was to find out how many people would recognize a virtuoso performance.
I am not going to spoil the piece by revealing how many. However, the piece provides an intersting discussion of the role of framing in the perception of art.
Another observation, if art is reduced to background noise by radios, walkmans, ipods and kindred gizmos - it becomes a noise that is largely ignored.
