Storming Times Square

Using methods of public intervention and video installation, Storming Times Square is a project that symbolically releases our fantasies of overcoming imposed obstacles in our lives. Engaging individuals as spectators and participants, a staged interaction will take place between a “stormed” site and collected imagery of a virtual public.

The video display content will be the result of a public-participation performance. In the first phase of the project (July 24-27, 2014) the local Times Square community, distinguished New-yorkers and neighborhood pedestrians will be invited to crawl over a green-screen surface while being captured by an over-head video camera. The result is a dynamic video animation with both realistic and abstract forms that will be screened for Midnight Moment in Times Square (September 1-30, 2014).

Storming Times Square is born from a desire to have viewers project themselves, literally and metaphorically, onto their immediate environments.

The project is presented in partnership with bitforms gallery and supported by AC/E and Spain Culture New York - Consulate General of Spain: member of the network Spain Arts & Culture.
