NF01 :: Union Square :: The Chirping Sidewalk
Wednesday, April 23rd :: 10 pm - 12 am :: Toast Lounge (70 Union Square) We all know Boston is a sports town. And rightfully so. Of course, to watch our great teams, our bars must be outfit with ample televisions and rocking stereo systems. To a casual observer, Boston might even seem to have the most televisions per bar inch in the country, possibly the world. This is not a situation to bemoan, pining for the bohemian haunts of Brooklyn. This a fact that can be translated into an understanding of Boston as the city with the greatest number of multimedia galleries in the world. As such, The New Factographers aim to interpret this city's unique bar landscape with a series of site-specific bar installations. "NF01 :: Union Square" is the first in this series of events using the platform of the Boston bar to create immersive audio, visual, and socio-sculptural installations about local neighborhoods and urbanism internationally. This initial experiment focuses upon the Union Square neighborhood of Somerville. For one evening, the many flat screens of Toast Lounge will be transformed with a montage of short videos portraying the details of this historic crossroads intermixed with footage from cities around the world. Sonically, bar-goers will be drawn into a series of local soundscapes interspersed between music by Boston bands. "NF01 :: Union Square :: The Chirping Sidewalk" takes place starting at 10 pm at Toast Lounge in Union Square, Somerville. The event is presented in partnership with Union Square Main Streets and Somerville Community Access Television (SCAT) on occassion of the MIT-GSD-LSE conference Writing Cities.
The New Factographers is an open network. If you are interested in getting involved, write facts@newfactographers.org
