“For the last 500 years, the locals of Nongriat in Meghalaya, India have grown several hundred bridges across the region’s numerous water channels, using just the roots of local ribber trees. Some of the bridges extend over 100 feet in length and are strong enough to support more than 50 people at a time.”

In the catalogue for the Cindy Sherman exhibition currently (Spring 2012) on view at the Museum of Modern Art, curator Eva Respini sees in some of the artists earliest work from the 1970s a direct link to the history of motion experimentation. Respini claims that Sherman’s first use of digital techniques in 2007 “recall her college experiments with cutouts of multiple figures, such as Doll Clothes, [below] the 1975 stop-motion animated film, and the 1976 collages Untitled #488 and #489 [above], which evoke the early experiments in motion photography by Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge. Where these early works chart the movements and gestures of a character that is replicated and multipled, the multiple figures in Untitled #425 [clowns, above] interact with one another to create a tableau; they also allow for a variation in scale that leads to a nightmarish effect in which clowns seem to encroach on the viewer’s physical space.”
If you have a chance to see the show, do so. Sherman has been taking pictures with herself as the model since the early 1970s, traipsing through numerous themes and forms of critique of societal segments. The MoMA show is beautifully composed, and the scale of Sherman’s work (big!) demands a personal encounter, particularly the last gallery space showing the tragic socialites, including the image above, wherein the digitized background gives an effect similar to the stereographic animated gifs we love so much!

By far New York has the highest ridership of public transportation among US cities. A significant percentage of people take the subway, bus, or commuter rail daily. Combined with the options of traveling by foot, bike, or taxi, New York stands as the country’s premier model of urban multi-modal transit. Given the great number of people who travel by these means it would seem that the private automobile is not entirely needed. But be that as it may, the automobile is the main means of transportation.

Though we often don’t consider it to be the case, the car is king in NYC. Accepting our four-wheel friend as a prerequisite, the studio will develop new architectural typologies by imagining a different presence for the car.
[“Hochhausstadt,” Ludwig Hilberseimer, 1924]
If the contemporary city up until now has been designed to the car’s specifications of movement, then we will develop new concepts of urban motion that influence the design of the car.
As part of Experiments in Motion Benjamin Berichta looks at unused space in the NYC subway system and asks “How do you wait?”
His way to wait for a train is on the deck of his yacht in the underground yacht club he proposes for the Delancey Street subway stop. I guess the rest of us will take the ferry.
