“Unreal City,
Under the brown fog of a winter dawn,
A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many,
I had not thought death had undone so many.
Sighs, short and infrequent, were exhaled,
And each man fixed his eyes before his feet.
Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,
To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours
With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine.”

4. Ponte Carlos, na época de Kafka
“Homens, que cruzam pontes escuras
passando junto a Santos
ornamentados por débeis luzes.
Nuvens, que correm pelo céu cinzento
passando junto a igrejas
com mil torres que condenam.
E alguém, apoiado no parapeito de alvenaria,
que olha na água da noite,
suas mãos sobre velhas pedras.”
(poema de Kafka, em tradução livre de Milton Ribeiro publicada em http://bit.ly/10Up2PO)

leia abaixo a descrição de Mariana Hirai, em http://bit.ly/19Iibht:
Na obra Detector de ausências, os dois canhões de luz, um de cada lado do Viaduto do chá, marcam a relação entre espaço e indivíduo, revelando o anonimato de quem passa e enfatizando a extensão do tempo pela duração dessa passagem. Atingem o fluxo de pedestres, enfatizando o anonimato das pessoas e a passagem do tempo. Busca ainda proposições que privilegiem o diálogo com o espaço urbano e seus habitantes. Para Tadeu Chiarelli, “o artista propõe a cada indivíduo outras possibilidades de percepção do espaço urbano, por meio da compreensão de uma das “especificidades” da fotografia moderna – a luz como energia, como agente de transformação do espaço e do tempo”.

Crossing the Hudson
Antonhy Mc Call
http://bit.ly/11SEnQT
trecho de artigo de Sylie Lin sobre Mc Call, em http://bit.ly/18kZe6R:
For example, his project Crossing the Hudson is based on a LED lighting system controlled by computer programs. For a whole year, the metallic structure of the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge over the river will be gradually lit up during the first six months before the light goes off gradually in the next six months, arriving at a total darkness in the end.
leia abaixo trecho de entrevista com Mc Call, em http://bit.ly/13eePTu:
Ross: Tell me about the bridge project.
McCALL: Crossing the Hudson. About four years ago, I was invited by Diane Shamash and her Minetta Brook Foundation to make a proposal for a work connected to the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge, a late nineteenth-century steel freight-train bridge that spans the Hudson River about seventy miles north of Manhattan.
Ross: What does it consist of?
McCALL: The bridge is half a mile across with a number of cantilevered sections made up of a lattice of vertical and diagonal struts. The piece called for each strut to be lined with a single continuous string of white LED lighting, such that the entire skeletal structure of the bridge was potentially represented at night by lines of light. Every single point of light that formed those lines would be connected and under the control of a single computer.
The cycle would begin on June 21, the shortest night of the year, with a completely dark bridge. The bridge would then be very slowly illuminated, inch-by-inch, beginning on the left bank and moving progressively toward the right bank. It would take six months to fully light the bridge, which would be completed by December 21, the longest night of the year.
The second half of the cycle, which would begin the following day, is the “un-lighting” of the same bridge. This time we would be starting with a fully illuminated bridge. Again beginning from the left bank and moving in the same direction as before, at the same slow pace, we would progressively extinguish the lights until, six months later, the bridge once again was dark. This would bring us back around to June 21. On the following day, the cycle would begin again.
Ross: So the cycle takes one full year?
McCALL: Yes, from June 21 until June 21 the following year. It then simply starts again, repeating year after year. The whole bridge becomes a kind of calendar. Any year you chose, on a certain date, the bridge would always be in the matching stage of partial illumination.

“The Homeless Vehicle Project disturbed conventional views of homelessness still further by targeting an occupational subculture of single homeless men (those who survive by redeeming empty cans and bottles for five-cent deposits) as potential user-consumers of an ostentatiously designed object. The prototype on view in 1988 consisted in a hinged metal unit, which could be extended to provide sleeping, washing, and toilet facilities as well as a can-storage compartment. The product had been tested by a panel of homeless “consultants” and adapted to the precise subsistence needs of its prospective users. This replication of design and market-research procedures parodied the “logic” of the late-capitalist equation between consumption and active citizenship and was carried over forcefully into the final “product launch.”” Dick Hebdige http://bit.ly/QFiSBA

“Manifestantes acampam no vale do Anhangabaú, centro de São Paulo, desde o dia 15 de outubro. O movimento é inspirado no americano “Ocupe Wall Street” e no espanhol “Indignados”. A ideia é continuar ali por tempo indeterminado.” http://bit.ly/shzLlx
