WORDS ON WALLS, CRYSTAL BALL

Now for something completely different.

One of my favorite sub-topics in the ongoing documentation of NYC street culture
has been “words on walls”. Over the past several months, I have been collaborating with two young friends: poet and producer, Marcus Fleming, and musician and coder, Brian Hurlow. Using an interactive website, we have come up with a piece of art that reflects these phrases and offers the possibility of a vision into the future via the mix of a traditional mechanism, the crystal ball, and a high tech roll of fortune on your computer or phone.  Enjoy!

Please note, there is a countdown clock of 1 minute for a friend or partner
to receive their fortune.

all best,
Ken

BALLOON PORTAGE

  Balloon portage, what a job.…the primal attraction of a bright blast of colors is always a treat for the eyes, and it still rings true, especially against a gritty city background.
