I PROMISE TO MAKE YOU GIVE A SHIT

ITP is Dictionopolis:

and the Media Lab is Digitopolis:

I guess the real question is who is Milo? Steve Jobs or DARPA?

But I was wrong!

The following is a proposal for my Video Sculpture final and possible entrant for the 2009 Winter Show:

During the peak of the recession of 2008 and into early 2009, ad hoc tent cities began to pop up in cities around the country. These proto-shanty towns, a known phenomenon in other urban areas of the world, were now taking root in the richest country in the world. The tent, almost always a symbol of recreation in this country, a superficial structure designed to minimally shield us from the elements, had now become home to hundreds if not thousands of individuals who had become migrants within their own borders, no more shielded from the harsh elements of the urban experience than a camper hoping to stave off interaction with the “known unknowns” of the wilderness.

“After Goldsworthy” is a video sculpture by Marco Castro and Ari Joseph. A tent-like structure serves as a projection surface for mapped video projections. The viewer inside the tent is immersed in a synthesized natural environment, akin to being enveloped by the construction of an Andy Goldsworthy piece. 

The piece was created for Video Sculpture, a class at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).
