The Unstill Life:
An Object-Based Portrait of the Lower East Side Now
"I'm interested in everyday objects as carriers of moods and images, associations, and fantasies. The stories that they tell are not stated overtly, but are inferred." - Konstantin Grcic (1965- )
The Unstill Life is an interactive web-art project proposed by Dylan Gauthier, Rory Solomon and Paula Zaslavsky for the consideration of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum's 2007 Digital Artist in Residence Project.
