i’ve never seen water that color

Really excited about this festival in Geneva involving large scale projection mapping. It should be quite fascinating as I am working with video and projections for the first time in my ‘Interaction’ class.

Below is some footage from last year’s festival…really impressive stuff

I’ve found that Fasnacht during the day is very much for the children, who run around in masks that weigh more than they do and toss candy and confetti at everyone in sight…

Nighttime however, is a completely different game. There are still thousands of people wandering the streets, mostly from bar to bar and occasionally buying you and your table lots of alcohol and contributing to the next day hangover, despite the ridiculously marked up prices that come with carnivale.

March through the city center…second day of Fasnacht

Going to Barcelona next week to escape the cold for a minute and back in time for Fasnacht (ie a particularly Basel style Carnavale celebrating the end of winter). MMMMediterranean beaches…

or maybe its just the effect of the massive amount of toxins being spewed into the air compliments of the numerous pharmaceutical companies headquartered here…who knows.

Residence in Basel…somewhat less ugly on the inside. Both the French and German borders are within a few minutes walking distace, but I’m desperately in need of a bicycle as its a few kilometers from the town center. Living with about ten other students (1 Italian, 1 Sicilian, 1 Australian, 1 Spainiard, 1 Iranian, 1 Greek, 1 American, 1 French, 1 Chinese, 1 Estonian)

Building G, where I will have the majority of my classes.

It was absolutely freezing here upon arrival.

Six hour flight from JFK...quick stop in London…hour and half more to Basel

Walking the High Line, a project in the West village that has transformed an old elevated train track into a green space with a incredible amount to look at while you walk uptown above the street.

Rooftop of the apartment I stayed at in Brooklyn

Well, actually Harlem. 146th and Convent specifically…

Amazing experience despite most of the museum being closed for the installation of a new exhibit.
