Times Square Sunday Morning Car Rally  


Mercer Labs - A Different Type of Art Experience

Light, Music, Movement And Technology Gives Visitors A  Surrealistic Experience
Uncertain At First, We Quickly Were In Awe

Probably a Hundred Thousand LED (Lights) Used For Special 3-D Effects



We Were Totally Emersed In Light
Part Of The Experience: Getting "Lost" In "Lighted Space!"
Disoriented - What Is Up? What Is Down?
Color, Movement And Sound -- Unnerving Fun
Emersed In A 3-D Experience


Placing Our Fingers Over The Sensor Plate...
...Activates The Cello - We Can Bow Slowly Or Quickly -- Which Changes The Music Tempo
Almost Like Looking Down Into A "Grand Canyon" Of Electronics
Emersed Into Rushing "Water" of Foam Balls
 Device Enables User To Draw With Finger And Change Shape




It's Possible To Change A Painting



What Is This Robot Doing? 
We Watched For A While - Finally Saw What Was Going On.

New Exhibit - Not Finished - Still, Looks Fascinating!
Nearby Is 9-11 Ground Zero



  New Mall - Building Reflects Off Another - Perfect Timing


Another Reflection: 
                                                        The 9-11 Reflecting Pool

Sad Experience
Building's Dove Design: Peace

                    Finished The Day With Gourmet Gelato
Dined At The Hotel's 47th Floor Restaurant
