Urban Spacewalk

Taryn Kneteman, '12 BFA

My piece contemplates how the physicality of the city shapes our movements and experiences and how terrestrial materials and surfaces can appear so strange and unfamiliar when viewed in unusual ways. I'm interested in considering that the way we build the infrastructure of daily life isn't a given, and how changes in the next century might affect the way cities are perceived by the senses. That leads me to wonder how thought patterns and values will be influenced by the (new?) normal of sensory experience in cities.
