The Blush Response vs in

A media performance for public observation decks in metropolitan towers and skyscrapers. Dramatizing an early account of urbanization with reconfigured fragments of a sci-fi movie score and a chorus of Text-To-Speech 'actors', The Blush Response delivers a personal 25-minute soundtrack to augment the contemporary urban vista in 70 international locations. The User selects a tower or skyscraper from the list of available locations. GPS coordinates must match those of the selected tower. Headphones must be attached to the device. Only one play per location is possible. If these conditions are met by sunset, the performance begins, as night falls on the metropolis and its pulsing circuitry.

in—yc is your local arts scene on a map, on an app, nothing buried behind algorithms.
 find gallery openings, live music, performances, exhibitions, pop-ups, open mics, and more — all searchable by category, borough, neighborhood, price, and source. no algorithm. no boosted posts. no sponsored placements. no pay-to-play visibility. every event appears on the map equally.
 artists, venues, and small businesses can post their own events directly, giving local culture a place to be seen without relying on social media, biased ticketing platforms, or word of mouth. we vet posts to make sure they’re real, local, and genuine — then let the city speak for itself.
 for locals, it’s a simpler way to find what’s happening nearby. for visitors, it’s a way into the city beyond the obvious. for artists and small businesses, it’s a grassroots tool to reach the people who actually want to show up.
 in—yc starts with NYC. next, we’re building a local guide to the arts in—your—city.
