Welcome to my site. Here you will find some info about me, the things I do and a listing of upcoming (and past) presentations and lectures. While I initially expected most of my posts to be about Open Source/Free Software (hence the name), these days it's mostly rants and ramblings about running.

arresting art?

Posted July 30th, 2011 by eric

Walking by Astor Place this afternoon, I stumbled on an odd scene.

Stacked up were all these large plastic zip-ties, the type the NYPD sometimes uses as handcuffs at protests. I did not see any mass of cops and the ties were separated into stacks of different colors.

It turns out that it's part of an art project from the Animus Art Collective http://animusart.com , that is part of this year's Summer Streets program from the NYC Department of Transportation. http://nyc.gov/summerstreets

I wonder how many tries it took to get this bike tire around the top of this lamp poll
