How have you chosen to interpret the theme “SENSE?”
I resonate with the phrase “intuiting the unseen at an intimate or collective level”.
Why do you believe 14th Street is a compelling site for creative response?
14th Street is a hub and therefore great way to reach a cross-section on New York population.
What reactions are you hoping to draw from the public?
I have no expectations as far as reactions are concerned. It’s an experiment.
