Dori's Project Ideas
So I've been thinking a lot about psychogeography and mapping overtly tourist urban spaces according to subject and identity formation. I really would like to look at Times Square and the phenomenon of the Broadway musical. I think I want to base the project on the transformation of this space over the last century and how the changes have influenced and impacted the tourist presence and domination of this space. I am going on the Times Square sound walk next week and hope to get some good ideas from that experience (which I have good faith in, considering my experience with the ground zero walk). I definitely want to address the disneyfication issues raised by Deboard and Lippard and somehow focus in on what that has done for or against the image of American-ness, glorified in the spectacle of the musical (particularly in the eyes of tourists)...anyways, any and all ideas and input would be much appreciated!
Caio for now
