This project, made in collaboration with Itay Niv, was built for Data through Design’s 2019 exhibition “celebrating tangible and multimedia expressions of New York City’s Open Data.” The project reimagines routes through the city as tracks on a musical sequencer, with the city’s trees and urban elements (e.g. subway stops, wifi access points) as notes on these tracks. Using an interactive map displayed on an supersized touchscreen, audience members are immersed in a synesthetic experience of the once-familiar landscape.
