Several comments in this thread discussed the idea of this installation as a sort of tuning fork, and also discussed other buildings as tuning forks.
I’ve posted about various tall structures over the last couple of years, focusing mainly on Manhattan buildings @elskemccain

These buildings are getting taller and taller, skinnier and skinnier. And nowadays they are constructed with something called a tuned mass damper.
Shown here are the oscillation dampers for the Taipei 101 Tower (101 floors) and the Shanghai Tower.

They come in many shapes and sizes. The Burj Al Arab has 11 tuned mass dampers.
It’s tough to find good photos of the actual tuners, they always want to show just the one inside the Taipei Tower. I guess since it can be seen by the general public, and it’s a big tourist draw.

The Petronas Towers, the tallest Twin Towers, are 88 stories tall, 452 meters, with a sky bridge at the 42nd floor. The 60-ton tuned dampers are located in the 42 meter legs.
It’s interesting how many of these buildings have around 88 or 101 floors.

These tuned mass dampers are found all over the world, some pendulum form, some liquid, some large cylinders, etc.
Many mass dampers are found in Manhattan, more than are shown on the wiki page.

The tuner for the One World Tower is a 300,000 gallon, 90 foot column

The heaviest tuner in the world is now in the Steinway Tower at one end of Central Park, 111 57th Street. Built with air rights over the old Steinway Hall.
It weighs in at 710 tons.
The building is embedded 100 feet into the hard Manhattan bedrock, known as schist.

Did you know these buildings can be tuned like guitars?
The oscillation frequency is tuned to be similar to resonant frequency of the structure it is mounted to. Gauging frequency, & absorbing kinetic energy.
This is a good site for building descriptions

The Steinway Tower is also of note as having the old piano company building at its base, and it is now referred to as The Stairway To Heaven.
The second image is a schematic of a building in motion. It looks like music.

Omg. This is nuts! In the other post, commenters have been finding good info on the builder of the installation that looks like a tuning fork.
Ezra Orion, who was a strange individual.
It turns out he also built an installation called Stairway to Heaven!
