Cultures in NYC

As we visited museums and collaborated on various projects, one theme recurred: the different cultures in New York City. Every group member was able to connect their own heritage to what we saw around the city.

What Gives Art Value?

As robotic art experiences rapid improvement, our group has created a short story that expounds on the benefits of human created art and answers the question “what gives art value?”

Our mundane and fast-paced lives often leaves us unaware of others’ lives and our own emotions. We never find time to slow down and analyze our own emotions. Our video explores this reality and showcases the dangers of becoming lost in ones own life.

The Charging Bull Reimagined

In the financial district of Manhattan, New York City, north of Bowling Green, a bronze sculpture called “The Charging Bull” is located, sometimes known as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull. The 7,100-pound bronze sculpture of a bull, a symbol of aggressive financial optimism and success, is 11 feet tall and 16 feet long.
