Jane’s Walk

Mary Miss/ City As Living Laboratory and renowned game designer Josh DeBonis teamed up to create an interactive experience for this year's Jane's Walk. With input from historian Miriam Berman, naturalist Gabriel Willow, architect Juliette Spertus and Flatiron BID representative Scott Lamkin, the collaborative team compiled three sets of "playful" instructions to prompt investigations of environmental and historical features of Madison Square Park and its surrounds. The game was inspired, in part, by the French Situationists dérive.
