Walk on Red

Walk on Red

Why Not Smile, New York, New York, 2008

Description

With Walk on Red: Soundscapes on Broadway, graphic artist Jeong-Hoon Kim creates a unique portrait of New York City, focusing on four neighborhoods intersected by Broadway and the 311 noise complaints registered within them. Using triangulated irregular network data structures, Kim develops maps of SoHo, Wall Street, Midtown and Inwood, whose varying frequency of noise complaints reflects their different population densities and mixed residential land usages. Kim’s striking graphic imagery is accompanied by photographs, satellite images and documentary data. 

Juror Notes

From the choice of black and red colors to the subtle use of typography and binding, this book takes on complex information and makes it visible in a memorable red line through Broadway.
