SUMMARY:The Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk
DESCRIPTION:As shown on the event website: \n  \nThe Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk is a free\, downloadable smartphone application that features a score of electric guitar chords\, zen gongs\, and more composed by Lainie Fefferman\, Jascha Narveson\, and Cameron Britt. As participants walk along the High Line\, footsteps are turned into twinkling metallic sounds\, electric guitar chords\, dulcimer notes\, water splashes\, car horns\, and applause. Produced by Friends of the High Line in association with Make Music New York; software development by Daniel Iglesia and with special thanks to MATA. \nTo join the fun\, download the iPhone or Android application and arrive promptly at 5:00 PM.

No RSVP required\, and this event will be held rain or shine. \nLOCATION\nThe walk begins on street level below the High Line at Gansevoort and Washington Streets\, moves through the park\, and ends on the High Line at West 30th Street. \nFor those who need elevator access\, enter the High Line via the elevator at Gansevoort and Washington Streets. \nABOUT MAKE MUSIC WINTER \nMake Music New York’s third annual Make Music Winter features twelve participatory\, musical parades throughout New York City on December 21st\, the first night of winter. Inspired by composer Phil Kline’s annual Unsilent Night\, which has drawn thousands of participants since its launch in 1992\, Make Music Winter includes innovative projects for bells\, brass bands\, electric guitars\, iPhones\, percussionists\, singers\, strings\, and more. Like its summer counterpart\, Make Music Winter is free\, outdoors\, and profoundly participatory. All are invited to join in. Details are available at makemusicny.org. \nABOUT THE COMPOSERS \nNew York composer Lainie Fefferman has written music for voices\, orchestral instruments\, banjoes\, bagpipes\, shawms\, car parts\, and electronic media. Her music draws inspiration from the rigorous\, the gorgeous\, the nasty\, and the zany. She began her studies as a math major\, but ended up a composer at Yale and is now working toward a PhD in composition at Princeton. Her recent collaborators include Newspeak\, JACK Quartet\, So Percussion\, and electric guitar quartet Dither. She has sung at the United Nations\, been a rehearsal pianist at Westminster Choir College\, and performed on kazoo with the Bang on a Can All-Stars. \nJascha Narveson was raised in a concert hall and put to sleep as a child with an old vinyl copy of the Bell Laboratories mainframe computer singing “Bicycle Built for Two.” Awash in the sounds of chamber music recitals in his parents’ house-concert series from an early age\, he spent his high-school years playing in improvisatory un-music bands and listening to increasingly esoteric music from various corners of the globe and subcultural strata of the industrialized world. These influences mixed with intensive traditional training in North and South Indian rhythmic traditions\, a summer residency with Bang On A Can\, and degrees in acoustic and electronic composition from Wilfrid Laurier University\, Wesleyan’s MA in experimental and world music\, and Princeton’s doctoral program. His music is a vibrant testament to these influences\, combining the Western composer’s love of novelty with an unshakable devotion to rhythm\, physicality and “flow” inherited from everywhere else. His music has been played in many places by many people\, some of them famous\, others deserving of fame\, all of them deserving of thanks. \nN. Cameron Britt is a percussionist\, composer\, and instrument builder. He invented the EMvibe\, an electromagnetically actuated vibraphone. As a percussionist he has performed extensively with the North Carolina Symphony and is active as a creator and interpreter of new music. His compositions have been performed by the Brentano String Quartet\, So Percussion\, Ensemble Klang\, janus\, NOW Ensemble\, and the electronica duo Matmos. He has worked with the laptop ensembles Sideband and PLOrk and is interested in creating new electronic instruments in both hardware and software. He received his PhD in Composition from Princeton University and currently teaches percussion at Duke University. \nDaniel Iglesia creates music and media for humans\, computers\, and broad interactions of the two. His works have taken the form of concert works for instruments and electronics\, live audio and video performance\, generative and interactive installations\, and collaborations with many disciplines such as theater and dance. He co-led PLOrk (the Princeton Laptop Orchestra) for three seasons. He plays with Spirograph Agnew and Sideband. He made MobMuPlat. He currently works at Google.

SUMMARY:New York City Freight: From our shores to our stores

SUMMARY:150 Years in Hiding: The Story of a New Frog Species in New York City
DESCRIPTION:New York City is probably the last place you’d expect to find a new species of frog\, but that’s exactly what Jeremy Feinberg and a group of colleagues discovered in 2012. \nThis unexpected discovery is the first of its kind for a New York State amphibian since 1854 and has received worldwide attention from scientific and general-interest communities alike. In this talk\, Jeremy will share his tale of two species – about the new frog and the look-alike species it was previously thought to be. \nThis class will cover the circumstances behind this ‘fortunate accident’ and examine key characteristics of the new species. We will also touch on conservation concerns and explore how a large\, conspicuous vertebrate remained misidentified over several centuries despite occurring in and around one of the largest human population centers on earth. \n\nTaught by Jeremy Feinberg \nJeremy Feinberg is a doctoral candidate at Rutgers University and a guest researcher at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. He has been spent his career focusing on amphibian and reptile ecology and conservation\, mostly in the New York metro area. Jeremy is specifically interested in unraveling the reasons behind species declines and local extinctions and has been sharing the story of the new species discovery to academic and non-academic groups around the country for the past two years. \nPlease register here: http://brooklynbrainery.com/courses/150-years-in-hiding-the-story-of-a-new-frog-species-in-nyc

SUMMARY:Watershed Relief Map Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Watershed Relief Map Presentation\nSaturday January 10 at 1pm\nQueens Museum of Art\nNew York City hosted the 1939 World’s Fair in Flushing\, Queens. To show off the city’s water system that tapped mountain springs as far as 100 miles away\, the Cartographic Survey Force\, a branch of the Works Progress Administration\, constructed a 3-dimensional model of the system out of wood and plaster for @ $100\,000 (about $1.5 million in today’s dollars).  \nMeasuring 32 feet by 20 feet it never made it to the Fair and instead was put into storage; some said it because it was too big\, but others have said it was to protect the City’s Water system from spies as the country was beginning to contemplate war.  It was shown once in 1948 – at the city’s Golden Anniversary Exposition – and then forgotten. In 1991\, DEP’s chief architect Michael Cetera discovered it sitting in the Jerome Avenue Pumping Station (built 1906) when he was charged with renovating the landmark building. The map was in rough shape after 40 years of neglect. In 2006\, it was restored by McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory in Ohio and has been on display at the Queen’s Museum since 2008.\n\nYou can now see the map for yourself and hear about its story from NYC water educator Matt Malina.\n\nThis is a family friendly event organized by NYC H2O and the Queens Museum.  \nThe Queens Museum also has a scale model of the entire city that is not to be missed. This event is free with a suggested $5 entrance fee to the museum.

SUMMARY:Oculus Book Talk: Urban Alchemy
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove will present Urban Alchemy\, Restoring Joy in America’s Sorted-Out Cities\, published by New Village Press. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with William Morrish on the intersections of public health and urbanism. \nWhat if divided neighborhoods were causing public health problems? What if a new approach to planning and design could tackle both the built environment and collective well-being at the same time? What if cities could help each other? \nDr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove\, author of Root Shock\, uses her unique perspective as a public health psychiatrist to explore and identify ways of healing social and spatial fractures simultaneously. Using the work of French urbanist Michel Cantal-Dupart and the American urban design firm Rothschild Doyno Collaborative as guides as well as urban restoration projects from France and the US as exemplary cases\, Fullilove identifies nine tools that can mend our broken cities and reconnect our communities to make them whole. \nDr. Mindy Thompson Fullilove is a board-certified psychiatrist and Professor of Clinical Studies of Sociomedical Sciences at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. She started her research career in 1986 with a focus on the AIDS epidemic\, and became aware of the close link between AIDS and place of residence. Under the rubric of the psychology of place\, Dr. Fullilove began to examine the mental health effects of such environmental processes as violence\, rebuilding\, segregation\, urban renewal\, and mismanaged toxins. She has published numerous articles and six books including “Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America’s Sorted-Out Cities\,” “Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It\,” and “House of Joshua: Meditations on Family and Place.” \nWilliam Morrish is Professor of Urban Ecologies at Parsons The New School for Design\, where he recently served as Dean of the School of Constructed Environments. He is a nationally recognized urban designer whose practice encompasses inter-disciplinary research on urban housing and infrastructure\, collaborative publications on human settlement and community design\, and educational programs exploring integrated design\, which are applied to a wide range of innovative community-based city projects. \nPrice: Free for AIA members and students with valid student ID; $10 for non-members \nOrganized by: AIANY Oculus Committee \nOculus Book Seller: McNally Jackson Books | 52 Prince Street\, New York\, NY 10012 | 212.274.1160

SUMMARY:A Panel Discussion and Book Signing: The Landscape of Fracking in New York; What's Changed and What Hasn't.
DESCRIPTION:Sane Energy Project and Food Not Fracking present:\n \n A Panel Discussion and Book Signing:  \nThe Landscape of Fracking in New York; What’s Changed and What Hasn’t. \nThe announcement that DEC will prohibit fracking in NYS may lead some to believe that now we’re “safe.” However\, pipelines\, compressor stations\, storage caverns and LNG facilities have been and remain the current threat. “The Real Cost of Fracking” authors\, Michelle Bamberger and Robert Oswald\, will demonstrate why such infrastructure may actually be WORSE than drilling in its health impacts on humans\, animals\, and our food shed. \n“You Are Here\,” a new online mapping tool\, will demonstrate how New York is already being fracked in every way BUT the drilling. Local activists join a panel discussion about current infrastructure projects and what is being done to stop them. \nLight refreshments will be served. FREE. 4-6pm\, Sunday\, January 18th at the beloved independent Brooklyn bookstore\, Bookcourt. \nCosponsors: Chefs for Marcellus\, The Baum Forum\, and others (list in development).

SUMMARY:596 Acres presents Reviewing Renewal on the Queens Museum Panorama
DESCRIPTION:596 Acres presents\nReviewing Renewal\non the Queens Museum Panorama\nJanuary 11 to February 8\, 2015\n  \n596 Acres will present all 155+ urban renewal plans that the City has ever adopted in an intervention directly on the Panorama of the City of New York\, realizing the online Urban Reviewer map on a 1:1200 scale of the 9\,335 square foot Panorama. \nNew York City began to adopt “urban renewal plans” in 1949 to get federal funding to acquire land\, relocate the people living there\, demolish the structures and make way for new public and private development. The legacy of these neighborhood master plans remains active across the city\, from sites like Lincoln Center to the many vacant lots cleared in East New York and Bushwick for projects that were never completed. Even after federal funding for the program was cut in 1974\, New York City continued to adopt renewal plans for neighborhoods – 82 plan areas\, where the city has eminent domain power to take private property for the public purpose of eliminating blight and economic “under-performance\,” came into being between 1975 and the present.  \n“The whole theory of urban renewal was based on the idea of urban obsolescence\,” says curator Paula Z. Segal. “It was not about blight\, but about making way for the new\, on the idea that urban structures are made to last 30 or 40 years.” \nUrban renewal transforms the city\, and changes the lives of many New Yorkers\, for better or worse. Over 60 plan for areas of the city remain active today. Some communities are taking advantage of active plan areas to make community aspirations into official plans. \nWhat can we learn from the continuing story of urban renewal in NYC?\n \nCurator: Paula Z. Segal\, Esq.\, 596 Acres\, Inc.  \nExhibition Design: Mary Bereschka\, Greg Mihalko\, Stephen von Muehlen\nDesign: Partner & Partners\nEvent Production: Amy Fitzgerald\, Oksana Mironova\n  \nExhibition made possible thanks to the support of Mapzen and the Queens Museum.\n  \nThere will be public programming focused on different facets of Urban Renewal Area planning every Sunday during the exhibition.

We help neighbors organize around and gain access to the city’s warehoused and empty public land. Our work enriches the quality of life for all New Yorkers by facilitating community-based civic action and helping to transform unused vacant land into new open spaces. We are currently adapting our model in Philadelphia (groundedinphilly.org)\, in Los Angeles (laopenacres.org)\, in New Orleans (livinglotsnola.og) and are in discussion to extend this land access movement to 15 other cities worldwide that have  expressed an affirmative interest in 596 Acres’ approach. We are a small and young organization that has been working on a shoestring budget since 2011 and are now looking for financial partners to help us revolutionize land access processes worldwide.
