Too often the city is perceived without senses.
Inspired by this motto, The Colors of New York presents the city in a new way through colors, photographs, texts, sounds, maps and tags.
The project builds off the Stadtblind work The Colors of Berlin (http://diefarbenberlins.de), which was published by Prestel in 2005 and presented at Van Alen Institute in Manhattan, Deutsches Architektur Zentrum in Berlin and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver. For Conflux 2007, Stadtblind presents “Part I” of The Colors of New York, premiering an experimental short film combining documentary photography and a musical score composed from sounds recorded of the city’s streets.
Stadtblind is an international non-profit art, design and planning collective dedicated to transforming the perception of urban experience. The group was founded by Jesse Shapins, Philipp Schwarz and Celia di Pauli in Berlin in 2002. The Colors of New York :: Part I is created by Kara Oehler, Pedro Recarey and Jesse Shapins.
Conflux is the annual NYC festival for contemporary psychogeography where international artists, technologists, urban adventurers and the public put investigations of everyday city life into practice on the streets.
