This workshop seeks to make New York City streets a more engaging place, encouraging civic participation through playful interventions. Urban objects reclaimed from the streets are recombined and placed back on the streets where they were originally found, to be rediscovered and inform a new perspective on city life. The intention is a reframing and reactivation of underused urban infrastructure, and an increase in empathy and awareness through collaborative playfulness.
Rotten Apple is a combination of street art, urban hacking, and design. Interventions in public space, using found objects that are reconfigured to enrich the urban experience through play.
