Using methods of public intervention and video installation, Storming Times Square was born from a desire to have viewers project themselves, literally and metaphorically, onto their immediate environments.The video display content was the result of a public-participation performance. In the first phase of the project (July 24-27, 2014) the local Times Square community, distinguished New Yorkers and neighborhood pedestrians were invited to crawl over a green screen surface while being captured by an overhead video camera. The result was a dynamic video animation with both realistic and abstract forms that were screened during Midnight Moment in Times Square September 1-30, 2014.Storming Times Square is born from a desire to have viewers project themselves, literally and metaphorically, onto their immediate environments.#StormingTSq
