Project Details

"'Projec(tions)' is a collaboration by a small group of students and faculty at Parsons School of Design focused on creating an interactive map of New York City that represents the new television medium and human interface of the future." 
 
Using visual and audio footage (digitized and conventional) shot in New York City, a mixture of input and output devices (computer and conventional), and literal translations of the human body as part of a navigational aid, visitors sift and sort through the information presented to fulfill their own personal goals. 
 
"The intention of 'Projec(tions)' is to generate a digital infrastructure that blurs the boundaries between interface and content, human and computer, and broadcaster and receiver."
