Plaza Cisneros

Plaza Cisneros revitalized Medellín’s Guayaquil sector through urban renewal and heritage-sensitive design. Its Forest of Light and Shadow—300 light towers—transforms the square into a civic landmark, hosting daily life and major events like the 2018 Medellín Marathon.

Ted in the Touristic City

Take a Sound walk of urban critique and research wherever you are; preferably, this might work best if you are in Florence and can understand Italian. You will find that TED the Mole will also guide you in your perceptions of the tourist city. Get back to us once you are done.

Street With A View introduces fiction, both subtle and spectacular, into the doppelganger world of Google Street View.

Street With A View introduces fiction, both subtle and spectacular, into the doppelganger world of Google Street View.

On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team and residents of Pittsburgh’s Northside to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Neighbors, and other participants from around the city, staged scenes ranging from a parade and a marathon, to a garage band practice, a seventeenth century sword fight, a heroic rescue and much more…

Street View technicians captured 360-degree photographs of the street with the scenes in action and integrated the images into the Street View mapping platform. This first-ever artistic intervention in Google Street View made its debut on the web in November of 2008.

As of April 2014, Sampsonia Way was replaced with updated imagery. It is now possible to “go back in time” in Street View. Select “May 2008” to see images from this project.
