WHOSE PLACE IS IT ANYWAY, 2009

Mylar balloons are given to pedestrians, who are then encouraged to pass it on to other pedestrians, creating dispersed, aleatory, and unpredictable trajectories. Each balloon is marked with an "X" on an icon borrowed from GoogleMaps.

How might we map, mark, and occupy place in ways that are intimate and legible, yet immaterial and transient enough to avoid being bulldozed, evicted or commodified?

Produced at Union Square East, NYC for Sign (AiOP) curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam; Special thanks to Wanda Acosta
