Tapping Into The Urban Unconscious

Maisonneuve urban issues columnist Christopher DeWolf writes about three new media projects that want Canadians to look at their cities in a new light. "What Urbania, Spacing and [murmur] do isn’t all that different from Roadsworth’s art: they add layers to the city, giving one a new perspective on the ordinary and the everyday. They’re resolutely human-oriented, raising awareness of the need for public space, an environment that values its aesthetic and, above all, the need for a humane city. But their real message is this: Why sit here? Grab your coat and head out for a walk."
