Video Documentation
We decided upon Washington Square Park because of the highly contrasted demographic that its location allows for.
There is a mixture of NYU students and faculty, the crowd attracted by the east village, street performers and artist, tourist, and the locals from the surrounding neighborhood. This creates a rich mixture of culture and personality.
A few things that interest us about engaging within a space:
dialogue
communication
street performance
playing with scale/ the scale of objects, space, perspective, etc
the digital and physical and how they collide, interact, and negotiate with each other in the larger context of american society
Intervention Ideas:
tourist exploitation (best photo spot here)
Human powered shredder
Telephone game — (telephone rings, ask a question and answer is saved or broadcast, etc)
