MTA Arts & Designs Inaugurates Digital Arts Program with Large-Scale Video Installation

c2meworld.com: MTA Arts & Design has premiered New York Minute by new media artist Gabriel Barcia-Colombo at the newly opened Fulton Center, marking the inauguration of Arts & Design’s new digital arts program.

New York Minute is a large-scale 52-channel video installation on display through spring 2015 at the Fulton Center station complex and in its Dey Street pedestrian tunnel. It is shown on 52 screens ranging from the 55-inch LCD screens that line the Dey Street concourse to LED walls, measuring 31.5 feet by 18.9 feet, on the street level.

I would love to see more photos of the actual installation. Although the videos themselves are beautiful, the way they are presented would be at least half of the piece's efficacy. I love the magical quality of the videos with their bright colors, black backgrounds, and slow motion. It sounds like the new screens installed for this piece will be available in the future for other artists to present with. I am surprised the clips are only 30 seconds even though the piece is "New York Minute" but I guess the work hits at the spirit of the phrase rather than the letter.
