Design-In Marathon
Saturday, 10/07/06, 12:30–8:00pm
The annual marathon discussion offers a diverse, multi-disciplinary view on
"Architecture as Public Policy." Engaging personalities highlight the
designer's objective in creating—and the public's perspective in
experiencing—various types of spaces and places in New York City that we
move in, work in, live in, learn in and play in.

Performance Installation
A preview of Visible Cities, an architectural performance installation created by media artists Dana Karwas and Liubo Borissov for Thursday, October 12th's
Party@theCenter. Visible Cities features Andrea Haenggi and the AMDaT Dance Company. The setting for Visible Cities is a projected environment of responsive dynamically generated structures, originating from an interpretation of crowd movement and ambient sound. The structure is abstract, yet evocative of a city, a map, a large gathering of people. In addition, dancers/agent provocateurs embedded in the crowd sporadically emerge and perform, their movement and actions affecting dramatically the current state of the environment. Visible Cities is manipulated live with custom built software developed in the Max/MSP/Jitter programming environment.
