Eight years ago, Laurie Anderson recalled in an interview, she was backstage with the cellist Yo-Yo Ma at a Rhode Island School of Design graduation ceremony when she turned to him and said, “I have this fantasy where I look out, and the whole audience is dogs.” He replied: “Are you kidding? I have the same fantasy.”

Ms. Anderson, the performance artist known for incorporating new technology into her work, got her wish two years later. She and friends put on a concert for hundreds of dogs outside the Sydney Opera House, with the music emitted from speakers at a low, dog-friendly frequency. (She didn’t want to risk shocking the dogs with a high frequency.) At the end, they began to bark — even the droolers in the front row. “It was a beautiful sound,” she said. “They barked for five minutes. That was one of the happiest moments of my life.”

Until now, Ms. Anderson has not had an opportunity to repeat the scale and sensation of that concert in Australia. But at 11:30 p.m. on Monday, she will get that chance: Dogs and their owners are invited to sit on the red steps of Duffy Square while she performs music that, to passers-by in Times Square, may not sound like much because of the low frequency. Humans can tune in with wireless headphones — there are 350 total — that will be given out beforehand.

The occasion is the January edition of Midnight Moment, a series in which many Times Square billboards become a digital art gallery, if only for three minutes. The series, presented by Times Square Arts and the Times Square Advertising Coalition, has in the past included works by Andy Warhol, Björk and Yoko Ono. Ms. Anderson’s contribution is a three-minute cut of her documentary “Heart of a Dog” — a poetic visual essay about, among other things, the journey from life to the afterlife.
