Sahal and Lita’s grant-winning project as seen on Rhizome<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Rhizome, an affiliate in residence at the New Museum of Contemporary Art<\/a> in New York City, awarded 19 projects ranging from $500-$1500 for new web-based art. These 19 projects were picked out over 1000 proposals, and among them, Sahal<\/a> (ITP Student) and Lita<\/a> (ITP Alumna) won a coveted Rhizome grant.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sahal and Lita won a grant to build out further "their interactive web 3D audio- visual installation about NY Mayor Eric Adam\u2019s plan to build a Copy City in Queens using $225 million in taxpayer dollars."<\/a><\/p>\n

Sahal and Lita write further:<\/p>\n

"In this environment the user will interact with various collected and 3D scanned digital artifacts rendered with three.js, influencing a real-time soundscape including live police scanner feeds and interviews manipulated with p5.sound. Interaction might involve clicking on objects to reveal more information, moving items around, or manipulating them to view different scenes.<\/p>\n

Overall, the project hopes to help bring to light obscured information about the Cop City plan through a self-guided browser-based experience."<\/p>\n
