During the DUMBO Arts Festival, I saw that the Water Street mural was getting some updates… (see above)
and here it is — they added some blue glares and lightnings:
and few yellow and white spots on the ground…
Hope you had a nice weekend! xo Hijiri

Here Goes Something
We were walking back from Fort Greene park on Saturday and passed by this street mural art — Here Goes Something. I just took a picture of the title part, but this is a very long mural celebrating the rich and vibrant history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I guess the mural tells the story of the Navy Yard from right to left. Please read more about it here. I should take more pictures next time, it’s really cool!
Kenny Scharf Bowery Mural
Hi there! I hope you all had a nice weekend and are ready for another week :)
I was in the city this Saturday and had a perfect “I LOVE NY” moment — passed by the Bowery Mural wall (on Bowery and Houston, by Deitch Projects) and saw Kenny Scharf finishing up his awesome wall! I was so excited I had to snap few photos.
It looks like I was the only one taking photos, but he had a crowd of people around him, making it harder for him to work (it seemed like, at least) but I guess he finished it!

Awesome, huh? :) You can stop by Bowery and Houston to see it!
DUMBO Arts Festival 2010 (Nights)
One more post from DUMBO Arts Festival… nights!
For 3 nights, we enjoyed arts everywhere in DUMBO, it was so fun and inspiring. Some photos are taken by my iPhone + night time so apology for a bit of a fuzziness…
Projected art on Manhattan Bridge:
Short film was playing all throughout the weekend on a parking lot on Jay Street:
And this was pretty awesome — a projected guy was crawling all over the Manhattan Bridge!
In case you don’t know what you mean… the crawling guy was created in a computer (see the laptop?), kind of like a stop motion graphic, and as the guy crawls, this person behind the laptop was moving the projector so that the projected guy looked like he was actually crawling the bridge. Up, down, ceiling and everywhere. I thought it was really awesome!
This was an interactive art we enjoyed — you just move around and make the light streaks — pretty fun!
Me and my friend in here, can you see us? :)
These sculptural works entitled Animas by Seth Wulsin were great!
Animas is a series of painted three-dimensional portraits that explore the interior dimensions of mind and soul in the embodied physicality of space. Animas portray the presence of human materiality through a non-existent, yet visible volume. Each portrait is built up from cross sections of sculptural forms painted onto multiple mesh screens that are superimposed onto one another, generating an image. The image changes its character depending on the distance and angle of the viewer in relation to it, giving the sense that a single portrait contains numerous faces.
The face changes when you move around…
Another one we found:
7 layers of screens — amazing!
Apparently, he is one of the winners of the Festival — congratulations!
I can’t wait for next year’s already… :)
