NEW YORKERS ANSWERING ABOUT THE 5W: WHO WHY WHERE WHEN WHAT OF THEIR CITY



Interlinking this friends, I want to put together different sequences started by different points, that can help to build and feel a more general information system. This system is filtered by relations and could help someone understanding how the things runs in ny.

I believe you cant find any other place to do a sociological or artistic research than New York City. For one, we have one of the most diverse populations in the whole world, a mix of native caucasians and immigrants, representing different political and social ideologies. Another is that, in art, New York has one of the most conservative, as in opera, and the most radically liberal artists, as in performance art, in the world. There seems to be a place here for everyone, no matter the social inclinations or artistic preference.
NYC is predominantly liberal with a considerable conservative base still active. I find that the blanace here makes for a really interesting political play in the ciy.
The sociological climate of NYC influences the pov of the city. If it were more of a conservative (socially) place, the whole dynamic would be different. The already underground art scene would be much more "underground" and a lot of the contemporary arts would be lessened in number.
I feel as though the trend is to move back to simplicity and lack of technique.

what do you think about it in your town?
-I love NYC. There's nowhere else to be. Lol

Why are you so sure?
Aha---That is the question isnt it? hehe. I'm not really sure. But as of now, I feel that NYC is the accurate microcosm of our civilization.

How you'll think your approach 'll change if you think to move somewhere else?
