The Wave Organ, an Exploratorium artist-in-residence piece, is a wave-activated acoustic sculpture located on a jetty in the San Francisco Bay at the tip of the Marina. It's not a video game, nor is it in high definition. It doesn't shock you terribly or run up your credit card. It just makes a very pleasant sound that your grandchildren will find delightfully bizarre. Waves going through the Wave Organ make it play something that's not quite music, but certainly not just noise. It's like stepping inside one of the seashells that you hold up to your ear.
