Union Square in Motion: opening event pictures
Pictures from the September 26, 2011 opening of Union Square in Motion, presented by MTA Arts for Transit, Parsons the New School for Design, and us, the producers and artists.

Four of the artists: Jaqi, Hilal, Umut, and Jeanne. Josefina was probably being interviewed by NY1 and Rose was on her way.
My friend with the camera left when the crowd was still building and before the reception at Parsons. I’ll try to find more pictures of the festivities.
EDIT: found a couple pictures of the signs posted at Parsons where they hosted the reception, but not during the reception.

This location was a few windows down from where the class put up the lenticular linear zoetropes during the spring semester, as seen in these posts — Parsons student linear zoetrope videos, New images and videos of the Parsons Displays, and Update #1 on the Union Square display.

Parsons was mixed about support over the summer, probably because the project was so unusual and bold, but in the end they came through.
