MyBlockNYC

Here’s a great website that allows NYC residents  to record a video from their block and to geotag it to a map of the city. The majority of the vides were created by students in middle school and high school.

The site was exhibited at the MOMA as part of their “Talk To Me” exhibition in 2012, and was later included in the USA pavilion at the Venice Biennale in ‘Spontaneous Interventions‘.

I found the website to be a really fascinating as a way to look into the city’s often unexplored boroughs, including Staten Island and Queen’s.
