The Public Art Program and UrbanRemix, invited the public to explore, share, and remix the sounds of Times Square throughout April and May. Urban Remix combined location-based cellphone technology, a database, and a web application to allow citizens to record and store media such as sound, images, and ultimately videos in their city and position them in a digital map.We invited the publice to capture and contribute sounds from Times Square using UrbanRemix's free mobile phone software for iPhone/iOS and Android devices. These sounds were tagged with geo-location, timestamp, and keywords and stored in our server’s database. Using our web-based software application, anyone anywhere was able to explore the contributed sounds, view them on a virtual map of Times Square, and mix and share their own soundscapes. At the conclusion of the project, UrbanRemix performed a remix of the collected sounds in a public space in Times Square, and made the remix available for download and distribution. In addition, we developed and supported an online remix contest and ring-tone generator as alternative performance and distribution formats.
