Times Square Events: Portraits in Landscape

#midnightmoment

When: August 1-30 | 11:57-midnight.

Where: 42nd St to 49th St between 7th & 8th Ave.

By artist:Carla Gannis. She’s fascinated by digital semiotics and the situation of identity in the blurring contexts of the physical and virtual.

Look up at the digital screens of Times Square 3 minutes before midnight! “Immersed in their smartphones, two animated figures in a twinkling landscape snap photos – but both the figures and the world around them are composed of thousands of Gannis’s digitally-painted emoji, in a contemporary remix of Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s 16th-century portraits in which animals, vegetables, flowers, and books combine into human faces”.

Hi there :) I'm Jess and I came to NYC to pursue my dream and I feel I'm living it every day. New York is magical and you have to be open to everything because you never know who is sitting next to you on the subway or behind you in the line of the supermarket. I decided to create this blog about NYC because I realized how many powerful tips would have helped me if I knew them before coming to the city from someone who was living in NY! So I thought that it would be awesome to share with you some tips about New York from a New Yorker. I'm going to keep updating this blog so stay tuned :)
