The Signal And The Noise

​We will dissect a city block from top to bottom: telephone cables, streetlights, surveillance cameras, traffic lights, streetcar cables, municipal signage, sidewalk markings, street grates, water mains, internet cables, sewage pipes, subway tracks.

​We will see inside the boxes where all electric wiring is routed; we will learn how to play street crossing buttons like an instrument; we will begin to notice surveillance cameras everywhere.

​Be warned: after this tour, you will never be able to look at a normal city block the same way again.
