New York's Festival of Ideas For A New City, With A Keynote by Jaron Lanier.

Review by Ellen Pearlman

“Festival of Ideas For A New City” organized by the New Museum, The 
Architectural League, The Bowery Poetry Club, C-Lab, Columbia University 
Center for Architecture, Cooper Union, The Drawing Center, NYU Wagner, 
PARC Foundation, Storefront for Art and Architecture, and the Swiss 
Institute blossomed like spring in New York City from May 4 – 8th, 
setting out to “harness the power of the creative community to imagine 
the future city and explore the ideas destined to shape it.”

Keynotes addressing the issues were architect Rem Koolhaas, virtual 
reality inventor Jaron Lanier, and former President of the National 
University of Columbia, and former Mayor of Bogota, Antanas Mockus. A 
StreetFest set up along the Bowery with over 100 local grassroots 
organizations and small businesses “presenting model practices and 
products in a unique environment.” Over 100 projects, events, 
performances and walking tours expanded on the Festival's themes.
