San Francisco
Baseball Player (Douglas Tilden, 1889)
A deaf artist created this sculpture of a baseball player more than 100 years ago.
Baseball can be a noisy game. Do you think Douglas Tilden, the artist, successfully
captured the baseball player, even though he could not hear the game? If you are not deaf,
cover your ears with earphones (turned off!) and explore spaces and places that you know
have noise. How does silence change how you think about the space?
