| It's the first collaboration between artist Carlo Zanni and artist Yucef
Merhi. Carlo Zanni and Yucef Merhi hacked into the "Time Out New York
Magazine" ( www.timeoutny.com
) Online Queries Database (the one that stores all the queries entered by
their website's visitors) and created an ideal dynamic city to visualize
information in constant flux. Live queries shift the scale of skyscrapers
every minute while CNN news cover images take the form of choppers and zeppelins
and a meteorology station (La Guardia airport) provides info to generate
realistic skies. This contemporary networked landscape operates as a visual
diagram and social metaphor of a public sculpture, as any urban center is.
PLEASE NOTE: This work, now existing only in
a stored off line version, has been performed live during "Culturecounter"
a show organized by Fernanda Arruda and Michael Clifton at Gavin Brown Enterprise's
Passerby. (February 25 - March 26, 2005) - More
