Issue 4 Launch: Street Seats Event
Issue 4: Education extended beyond traditional venues through a series of public readings and conversations. One was held at Street Seats—a NY2044 newsbox designed by Parsons Students integrated into their DOT approved outdoor seating design at 13th Street and 5th Avenue. The NY2044 Mobile newsstand also travelled to Washington Square Park. Bringing speculative journalism into shared civic spaces, the event invited New Yorkers to reflect on the future of education, work, democracy, and AI.

Newsstand at WhiteBox
We are thrilled to present Noah Fischer’s New York 2044, a commissioned artwork, news piece, and social sculpture at WhiteBox. This project joining the WhiteBox GreenBox/ISLA Summer ’24 program Expanded Narratives on Art and Ecology, highlights the challenges of urban sustainability, particularly when a significant portion of the population continues to struggle with the lack of affordable housing.
