What do you remember of the light you've seen? The color, mood, how it changes over the year.

THE CROWD-SOURCED CITY - Time-lapse

May 5, 2015 Means are the end

I was in NYC this past weekend helping the super talented Lize Mogel with her cool project "THE CROWD-SOURCED CITY" at the Whitney Museum Opening "Block Party". This is the cool time lapse video. Check it out!

A project by Lize Mogel for the Whitney Block Party, May 2, 2015. Block Party participants were invited to contribute to a scale model of New York City. Hundreds of visitors created small sculptures of places that were personally important to them and installed them on a table-sized map. The project collectively imagines a city that is produced by the local and the personal. This time-lapse video documents the construction of the crowd-sourced city.

The biology of perception, the technology of light.

One photo a day.

From the same spot, of the same view.

Reminded by an alarm, manually placing the camera in the spot, and shooting.

It is a system to to see the light each day and the light over 5 months, and the change in life over that time.

Arbitrary, why this view and not some other, why this camera, that time of day the frequency and ordering from left to right. The specifics of the decisions don't matter, but the decisions, any of the decisions begin the accumulation of information, sorting, parsing, pattern seeking, meaning creation.

Or there is just beauty.
