2014
In his 2014 essay, Daniel Morat frames Max Neuhaus’s work as a crucial shift from the industrial "noise" of early 20th-century cities to the intentional, aestheticized soundscapes of the late 20th century. Morat specifically highlights the Times Square installation as an example of active sound reshaping, positioning Neuhaus as an artist who transformed the urban environment into a musical instrument through a focus on timbre and space.
