Urban Omnibus and WNYC presents: Phantom City Meet-up, Saturday, Oct. 31

October 27th, 2009 by UnionDocs

Something a little off the beaten path  - this Saturday, Urban Omnibus presents Phantom City Meet-up, an exploration of what New York could have been, brought to you exclusively by an I-phone app. We, here at UnionDocs, think this is something creative worth checking out.

“Irene Cheng and Brett Snyder designed the Phantom City iPhone app to “transform the city into a living museum of speculative proposals for the city of New York.” Here they share the inspiration for the project, give us a tour of the app, and pose questions sparked by their research. We have been intrigued by the project since it was first launched, and our curiosity persists: keep an eye on our forum for info about a Halloween afternoon Phantom City meet-up with Cheng and Snyder that will begin in Bryant Park. In the meantime, tune in to Morning Edition on Monday, October 26 to hear Irene tell Soterios Johnson what the app is all about. Check your local listings here. -V.S.”
