Watching this mime’s performance felt more like performance art than busking. This man commanded attention in a public transit space; which is not an easy feat.

It honestly fascinates me that the spire on top of The Empire State Building was originally designed to mount zeppelins. The 102nd floor was designed to be a landing platform and passengers were supposed to check in on the 86th floor. Ultimately the Empire Airship Terminal was abandoned due to a lack of mooring lines and wild updrafts. And yes, skyskraper spires are also a way of increasing their height for the sake of achieving records.
A glimpse of The Empire State Building is inspirational for me. It was constructed during the depression outside of New York’s financial district. I think the building is a metaphor for reaching for the stars; even when it’s illogical.

I was fortunate enough to attend a presentation about Bjork’s app album; Biophilia. I highly recommend checking out the app if you haven’t experienced it already. BioPhillia immerses you in a another world and allows you to interact in it by playing instruments and games.
For me, the big take away from the presentation is that our experience with music is currently in flux. We’re obviously moving away from the experience of sitting down and listening to music on a record player. Scott Snibbe, one of the BioPhilla developers, thinks that we currently have a hook up relationship with music. I think interactive and intimate experiences with music will make people feel like they are a part of the art, and hopefully this new dynamic will encourage people to share and create even more music. We live in exciting times. Thank you for creating this experience; Creators Project!

What do you think is the line that separates classy from gaudy? Honestly.
Do you know of any Thanksgiving songs?
As usual, Christmas songs are already being played everywhere. Christmas is already invading turkey time. Where my Turkey jams at???
The Creators Project is a collaboration between Vice Media and Intel and its purpose is to demonstrate how technology stretches the boundaries of art. They certainly reached their goal with this exhibit!
The concept behind this exhibit is to create a physical manifestation of a Spiritualized song, and man, was it far out. Different instruments oozed out of speakers located throughout the room and in the light vents. The rumbling floor paired with the visuals turned this cathedral-like space into a truly meditative and spiritual experience. It was sensory overload. And as you can tell, it was a magnet for beautiful and hip young folks throughout the New York area.
