EVENT DETAILS
<P>Do you know how long a dollar bill stays in your community? For instance, on NYC's Upper East Side, a dollar circulates for an average of 17 days inside the community. Jog 20 blocks north to Harlem, and spend a dollar there; it only circulates in the community for 6 hours. What would it take to change that figure? What else can we measure? More importantly, what other probing issues can we propose solutions for? Come join our community hackathon and brainstorm, sketch, and prototype ideas around financial literacy, autonomy, and power; and how to promote all of these things from on our own stoops.</P>

<P><STRONG STYLE="line-height: 1.6em;"><BR>NEW INC X DEEP LAB</STRONG></P>
<P>The third installment of the New Museum's IDEAS CITY, a bi-annual festival exploring the future of the city through the lens of culture and the arts, will take up the theme of The Invisible City. Addressing questions of transparency and surveillance, citizenship and representation, expression and suppression, participation and dissent, the Festival will shed light on the invisible forces at work in our cities.</P>
<P>To address these topics, NEW INC has invited the cyberfeminist research collective Deep Lab for a weeklong residency, during which the group will continue its work exploring privacy, security, surveillance, anonymity, and large-scale data aggregation in relation to the Invisible City.</P>
<P><STRONG>For more information on the residency and a full schedule of the week's events visit <A HREF="http://www.newinc.org/deep-lab" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow">newinc.org/deep-lab</A>.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><BR>ABOUT THE NEW MUSEUM</STRONG></P>
<P>The New Museum is the only museum in New York City exclusively devoted to contemporary art. Founded in 1977, the New Museum was conceived as a center for exhibitions, information, and documentation about living artists from around the world. From its beginnings as a one-room office on Hudson Street to the inauguration of its first freestanding building, designed by the 2010 Pritzker Prize Laureates, SANAA, on the Bowery in 2007, the New Museum continues to be a hub of new art and new ideas, and is a place of ongoing experimentation about what art and arts institutions can be in the twenty-first century.</P>

<P><STRONG>ABOUT IDEAS CITY</STRONG></P>
<P>IDEAS CITY explores the future of cities with culture as a driving force. A collaborative, civic, and creative enterprise, it builds on the New Museum's mission of New Art, New Ideas by expanding the Museum beyond its walls into the civic realm. Through talks, panels, workshops, projects, performances, and exhibitions, IDEAS CITY investigates key issues, proposes solutions, and seeds concrete actions. Founded by the New Museum in 2011, it is a major collaborative initiative between hundreds of arts, education, and civic organizations. A biennial IDEAS CITY Festival takes place every other May in New York City, while Global Conferences are organized in cities around the world. Both New York Festivals brought over fifty thousand people to the Bowery neighborhood in 2011 and 2013, respectively. The theme for 2015 is The Invisible City. In 2013, IDEAS CITY explored the theme of Untapped Capital.</P>
