Today in the New York Times an artist's project is presented, a three day walk on Broadway Street, a long take of overlapped streets, signs, faces, neighborhoods on a continuous film, a continuous story. Photographer Stéphanie de Rougé reads the city, literally through signs combined into sentences, images combined into the story(ies) of “varied backgrounds” together as it is New York City and as captured through the artist’s own movement through the city's “main artery”, Broadway Street while shooting on one continuous film which she advances as choreographed by the imagery in her path. To get the full effect of this immerse reading of the city, watch the short audio slide show.

Hi, on the note of mapping, you might be interested in our forthcoming project.
Alpha-ville, London’s new Digital Arts and Culture Festival will be at the Whitechapel Gallery and Rich Mix Cultural Foundation September 17th & 18th. Our programme includes live music and visual performances with a curatorial theme of Visionary Cities.
DIGITAL SCREENINGS/ INTERACTIVE INSTALLATIONS/ BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE SHOWCASE / INSPIRATION LAB / LIVE CINEMA/ FILM COMPETITION/ 3D VISUAL PERFORMANCES/ LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC/ WORKSHOPS / & more
For example, Bartlett’s Unit 15 Showcase: Talk & Screening Showcase of work by the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) final year students curated and presented by Nic Clear – course Director. Unit 15 is a postgraduate design unit that specialises in the use of film, CGI, animation and motion graphics to explore and investigate new forms of architecture.
And, Architectural projection mapping: A selection of leading artists focusing on enhancing the architecture and creating a relationship with it through the use of contemporary technologies. Clearly stepping away from standard setups & techniques these artists present live performances and installations projected on to historic and grandiose buildings, creating an immersive and intensely sensory experience that questions the spatial preconception of the spectator. For example, Augmented Sculpture, Grosse8 and Lichfront, 2010, Déshérence, Antivj,2009, and L’effimero Permanente, Apparati Effimeri, 2010.
Thanks!
Alpha-ville
