艺术家莫里·科尔曼(Morry Kolman)将利用纽约市的交通监控摄像头实时直播NBA冠军球队的彩带游行;此次,纽约市交通局(DOT)并未要求其停止该行为。
Artist Morry Kolman will be livestreaming feeds of the NBA champions’ ticker-tape parade from NYC’s traffic cameras—and this time, the city’s Department of Transportation isn’t demanding he stop.
科尔曼将自身的艺术实践描述为“高投入式网络烂发帖”(high-effort shitposting)。他表示,自己关注到大量用户在麦迪逊广场花园(MSG)场外发布自己及他人观看比赛的视频,因而希望为球迷提供另一种视角来记录这一体验。“与其展示MSG周边涌动的各类庆祝活动,不如借此实时观察中城(Midtown)周边警戒线与准警察国家状态的现场构建过程。”科尔曼说道。纽约市交通局(NYC DOT)一名发言人通过电子邮件向《连线》(WIRED)表示,该机构“不反对GardenCam项目”,但未进一步说明。游行期间,多条街道及地铁站将关闭,自行车与电动滑板车亦被禁止通行,此举或有助于缓解公众对行人安全的担忧。谈及该机构的立场,科尔曼表示:“我认为他们已学会让我自得其乐,而我认为这是一个明智的决定。”
Kolman, who describes his artistic practice as “high-effort shitposting,” says he was interested in how many people were posting videos of themselves and others watching the games outside of MSG, and wanted to give fans another angle to capture the experience from. “Instead of showing off all the celebrations happening around MSG, it was actually a way to watch the live imposition of a perimeter and police state around midtown,” says Kolman. A NYC DOT spokesperson tells WIRED in an email that the agency “has no objection to the GardenCam project” but did not elaborate further. Several streets and subway stations will be closed for the parade, and bikes and scooters will be prohibited, perhaps mitigating concerns about pedestrian safety. Kolman says of the agency’s stance, “I think they've learned to let me have my fun, and I think that's a good decision.”
