Posted November 9, 2008 * Comments(0)

Hi everybody,

The final Lines of Travel drawing depicting the commute of over 75 persons in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan is up on my website. Please see the Conflux page to see the different layers for the map, including the ‘old’ routes people use in their daily commute, the ‘new’ or proposed Lines of Travel suggested during the interviews, and the combination of the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ lines, with and without the city map. 

For details of the process visit the Lines of Travel page  in this blog.

Enjoy it!!!

Hello, 

The response to Lines of Travel was so great, that we’re still processing information and haven’t been able to finish the drawing…but, we don’t want to keep it a mystery, so check out the Lines of Travel page to see an 85% progress drawing.  

Thank you for your patience,

Mauricio

Hi everybody,

I’m very happy to tell you that the Lines of Travel digital map is shaping up with Jess’ help. The map is looking more and more interesting by the second. You can check the progress map by visiting the lines of travel – conflux blog page. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

 

Best,

Rain date is today!!!!

Posted September 13, 2008 * Comments(0)
Due to rain yesterday, we decided to cancel the interviewing process in the 4th location (4:30pm – 7:00pm), but we’re going out today to get more people involved…look for us around the West Village, no specific place today, we will just be wandering the streets of the neighborhood.  Here are some images from the last 2 days of interviews with commuters…the ones that stopped for us of course. We notice that Lines of Travel has two components, one is people who stop and get the official map from us, and the others, are the ones that change their Line of Travel by avoiding us. Some people were bold enough to go across to the other sidewalk or walk 10 feet around us so we couldn’t stop them. Thank you to the ones who thought that an art project is worth 2 minutes of your day!!!
Judy did an amazing job stopping people and also fine tuning our tag lines. The final one was: ‘We’re working for an art project part of Conflux Festival…’
Thanks Judy for all your hard work, standing on the corners of the West Village all day, preparing press releases and making sure people knew what the project was about. Jen, you made the day with your charm! Jess, thanks for all your help with the graphics, photographs and interviews.
The final map will be posted by Sept. 22. Stay tune and see the progress of the Lines of Travel digital image.

4th interviewing session cancelled due to weather forecast

Posted September 12, 2008 * Comments(0)

Due to weather forecast, we have cancelled the fourth interviewing location this afternoon (corner of Bleecker Street and 8th Avenue – 9/12, 4:30-7:00pm). In exchange, the artist will extend the morning interviewing process into the early afternoon, and will be wandering around the West Village neighborhood.

We appologize for the inconvenience.
