Moveable Type at NYT

posted July 24, 2017 #

Ryan recently clued me in to the public art installation of the New York Times lobby, Moveable Type. The piece, from Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin, went through a lot of iterations but eventually landed on this fascinating wall of screens displayed pertinent information parsed from recent articles in The Times.

This has been around for 9 years but I'd never encountered it before. This is pre-machine learning and before AI was a thing people said haphazardly. It's an impressive piece of art and a damn fine piece of technology as well.
