Garfield Lofts Projection - "ToBe Detroit" - NuitBlancheNYC - DLECTRICITY2012
Nuit Blanche New York (NBNY) presents a curated collaborative response by artists, writers, architects, and urbanists to the multitude of visions of the new city. Through a unique online visual platform, participants in New York and Detroit visually interpreted a glossary of writing about Detroit as a collage of moving images, photographs and illustrations. These works have been facilitated by NBNY using an innovative new tool, ToBe-- a web-based interface that allows users to collage media in a canvas where they can draw and modify a shared palette of shifting content. Juxtaposing outsiders and locals, the project takes inspiration from How to Recuperate an Urban Crisis, Andrew Herscher #39;s important new glossary of urban figurations on Detroit. "ToBe Detroit" illustrates the complication and conflict of perception and offers a platform for visual dialog as a means to explore community across geographic boundaries. NY contributors include: Urtzi Grau, Cristina Goberna, Canyon Castator, Karen Wong, Cassim Shepard, Troy Conrad Theiren, Pedro Gadanho Detroit contributors include: M Saffell Gardner, Dianetta Dye, Olayami Dabls, Brandon Walley, Glen Mannisto, Vince Carducci, Cedric Tai, Mo Will, Daniel SperryFrom:John HilmesViews:2 0ratingsTime:00:22More inPeople Blogs
