Snow! Great big fluffy hunks of it were falling as I walked around the cemetary, down 4th and Flatbush to the Dekalb st.

Last night I went to a good talk called Eutopia Now at the Center for Worker Education (25 Broadway right next to the Bull). Michael Sorkin spoke in amusing tones about zoning, soy plastics,new urban vehicals, Santa Monica, Far rockaway, 600 Miles of waterfront, artificial islands, better ones (bedouins?), photovoltaics, parks, and showed some great images. I rode down in the elevator with him and Greg Williams, the president of the CCNY, but couldn't think of anything witty to say.

Here is a list of terms that I had to look up:

Prolix
Levon?
Malthusian
Berman
Arverne
Arendt
Buzz Passwell
Bio-remediation

I have loads of pictures from the walk, but can't up-load them here at the library.

Yesterday I started working on the first step of the NYC History Timeline Large Scale Sculpture. After talking about the idea to Holly at the Urban Center at CCNY, I was convinced that a good way to start would be to walk the length of the proposed site, the D-train.



This is a photo documented performance art piece. This month (December 2008) I will walk the length of the D-lineover the course of several days. In this way I hope to:

a) get a feel for the landscape of the city

b) make some contacts with people who live in communities surrounding the D-line.

So far, I have walked from Coney Island to 55th Street Station near Sunset Park.

The library doesn't seem to want me to upload these images here today, so I'll have to try again elsewhere.
