Ways of Seeing in the Queens Museum

“Original paintings are silent and still in a sense that information never is.”–John Berger

I chose to connect this quote to the panorama map of New York City. I think this fits the quote because it shows the city in a very objective, and to borrow a word from the quote, still manner. Information about the city is never just information; it is biased, based on personal experiences, culture, socio-economic backgrounds and so on. But in this panoramic, you get to see the city just as it is, a city.
