Conductor (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. View live at: mta.me
Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

after 2 attempts myself, i realized i should call the maestro. with more than 50 years in the business of sign painting in paris, we’re lucky to have jacky on board at candelaria. great tacos and tasty cocktails in paris (bientôt).

main stable: what he did in 5 minutes took me several hours.
