A: Is for Creating Art!

Over the past couple weeks, an art installation has been going up in the lobby of The New York Times's beautiful new headquarters tower. Workers have been hanging neat, symmetrical rows of L.E.D. screens from the ceiling in two parallel wall. The screens are part of an artwork and an announcement will be made in a couple of weeks. The installation, is called Moveable Type, and was created by New York artist Ben Rubin and U.C.L.A. associate professor Mark Hansen. It is a dynamic portrait of The New York Times. Sophisticated algorithms are used to parse the daily output of the paper (news, features, editorials) and the archives, as well as the activity of visitors to NYTimes.com (browsing, searching, commenting).
The resulting refracted view of The Times will be displayed on 560 small L.E.D. screens on both sides of the main corridor of the lobby of The New York Times Building. The official unveiling won't take place until late October or early November. To see more of this artist's work log onto: www.earstudio.com/news/news.html

It is a F.A.C.T. that everyone can create a bit of art to soothe a troubled world.
