foundProjects

foundProjects is a photo blog dedicated to these derelict projects that solider on through the march of time


This is a blog of projects that have survived at NYU/ITP. I say survived, because these projects have been not been maintained, rather abandoned by their creators. However, despite this neglect and the constant shuffling, reorganizing, and reconstruction of the space that they occupy, they have managed to persevere. They live on, with no outside support, having achieved a longevity they were not designed to sustain.

If you have information, corrections, or suggestions for any of these projects, please contact me at mp612@nyu.edu.

Where a Wild Thing is Winter 2007 Tunnel in 445 Caleb Clark Originally part of the “Tales of Grim” project (http://itp.nyu.edu/show/winter2006/detail.php?project_id=1146), Caleb made a clay Where the Wild Things Are figurine that was never used. “We were working in Room 445 one day when I realized I wasn’t going to use this little friendly monster I’d made, but I didn’t want to throw him out. I looked up and there was that medieval looking arch going through the brick wall to the hallway. It was perfect! I thought maybe if I hid him up there nobody would find him and he’d have a home. Sure enough, he’s still there!” “I put it in the brick arch off in Room 445. It’s still there!” says Clark.
