In August, "Moveable Type" (public artwork by @cocteau and me) will end its 17-year run in the New York Times lobby. In the meantime, it's still noisily dismantling news stories in the lobby, and you can see it there for free on weekdays. https://t.co/wxVQr6s4CP

Making ListeningPost with you, @cocteau, was a turning point for me as well, and a pure joy.

[Mark Hansen @cocteau]

For many, LP is an emotional experience. It could be the scale of it, a kind of sublime feeling; or the typed content itself, Roberta Smith calling LP "a chapel to the human need for contact" (#humblebrag 2). But 20 years on, I tear up thinking about LP as a turning point for me.

[Mark Hansen @cocteau]

Twenty years ago, Listening Post opened in the ground floor gallery at the Whitney Museum. LP looked into "all the unrestricted Internet chat rooms in the English-speaking world and dredge[d] up thousands upon thousands of random sentences, even as they are being typed ..."

[Mark Hansen @cocteau]

Such a loss.

Today is the last day to experience Kamala Sankaram’s sound installation in Prospect Park. “The Last Stand” is an arboreal opera — deep and beautiful, not to be missed! #thelaststand @creativetime @kamalasankaram #soundart #publicart #trees
