Awkward_NYC/Awkward_Everywhere by Zannah Marsh with funds from the Jerome Foundation Awkward_NYC/Awkward_Everywhere is a collaborative online map for reporting social accidents and small interpersonal traumas that occur unexpectedly in public spaces. Anyone can add a story to the map. The map pinpoints sites in the New York Metropolitan area or anywhere in the world where misunderstandings, outbursts, physical altercations, arguments between friends or strangers, and romantic spats or break-ups have occurred. It taps into the confessional, voyeuristic, narrative impulses that typify online behavior and subverts the notion of mapping as reductive, objective, and authoritative. As stories are added to the map, a series of data visualizations depicting the emotional terrain of various cities will be generated. |

MARK-IT by Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos with funds from the Jerome Foundation MARK-IT is an App-based, participatory, public art project in New York City. From May 1 to June 30, participants will be able to download the app to their phones and select a color; their movements through the five boroughs will then generate an organic matrix of lines drawn on a virtual white canvas at the scale of the city. The living, breathing artwork will be visible online in real-time. As co-creators of the artwork, participants will receive a numbered edition of the final drawing. [Needs free Google Play APP or iPhone APP (coming soon) ] |

Submersible by Yotam Mann and Niv Bavarsky with funds from the Jerome Foundation You are at a helm of a submarine navigating the depths of the ocean. At each strata, you see and hear different organisms. In the sunny epipelagic zone, watch the fast and massive tuna swim by in schools. Or catch a glimpse of the rare sea pig in the darkness of the abyssopelagic. Each of these organisms contributes a spatialized motif to the evolving soundscape. [Needs Chrome 21+ or Safari 6+ and Speakers/Headphones] |

Panemoticon by Ali Miharbi and John Priestley with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts We know how you feel. Panemoticon observes your behavior, makes a few inferences about your emotional state, and plays music to match your mood. Your mouse/trackpad use says a lot about your energy level, confidence, and perceived control over your environment. Panemoticon tracks and analyzes these data to create an image of your mood, and then generates music, adjusting properties such as tonality (major/minor), harmonic & rhythmic complexity, tempo, timbre, and proximity. Collective mood is calculated for all Panemoticon users on a given site. [Needs Firefox (16 or later recommended), headphones/ speakers, mouse/ trackpad] |

WoodEar by Peter Traub with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts Bringing the body of the tree to the network is a natural fit — a tree is a network too: roots sensing and absorbing nutrients, leaves sensing and photosynthesizing sunlight, and phloem and xylem running throughout to carry nutrients across the structure. WoodEar attempts to merge the dynamic qualities of this biological network with the digital network. A series of sensors attached to the tree stream data on the state of its environment — light, temperature, air pressure, and wind. This live data is merged with photos and recordings of the tree's immediate surroundings into a generative application/ installation. By downloading and running the application, anyone can access the live environmental experiences of the tree — one that may be very distant from them, but that still shares the same air, sun, earth, and sky. [Needs download and Speakers/Headphones] |

Word Market by Belen Gache with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts Word Market (WM) is an Internet portal dedicated to buying and selling words, using a unique currency, the ‘Wollar’.

WM offers you attractive discounts and promotions. Don't hold back! Increase your linguistic wealth. Become the owner of your words! And most importantly, prevent others from using them!

WoodEar by Peter Traub with Jennifer Lauren Smith with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs April 16-May 3, 2013 Opening Reception: April 16; 5:00 - 7:00 pm Pace Digital Gallery, NYC Commissioned specifically for Pace Digital Gallery WoodEar, the installation, expands into the gallery the software that launched on Turbulence in 2012. The work attempts to merge the dynamic qualities of the biological network of a tree — roots gathering water and nutrients; leaves using sunlight to produce food; and phloem and xylem moving water and nutrients across the structure — with the digital network of the Internet. A series of sensors attached to the tree stream data on the state of its environment — light, temperature, air pressure, and wind. This live data, merged with images and recordings of the tree's immediate surroundings, is made audible and visible in the gallery. |
