Artist Statement

I have been developing this project [urban squares] since july 2001. it consists of an intensive collection of urban square images. the photos have been taken in more than 15 countries, stitched together as 360Ëš panoramas and prepared in two formats, a quicktimeVR that can be viewed as an interactive movie, and some of them in a version prepared for printing at up to 20" x 150". as an integral part of this collection a classification system was developed. there are two parts to this system: categories of the types of squares and an evaluation method.

by classifying and then analyzing the elements of a square, I slowly began to realize that there is a similarity between the city and a living organism. we can treat cities as entities with collective intelligence and, with the same analogy, we can recognize a system by which the urban space communicates with us. the square, as a city's "heart and soul", has the most to say, so recently I concentrated my artistic exploration on the language of urban squares.

the vocabulary of urban squares is part of a complex language of art; it is a dialect with very specific characteristics. elements have their individual meanings, but when combined create new messages. architectural elements, signage systems, graffiti and many other forms of urban art follow each other in a continuous stream, they surround us and direct our movements, they are given to us in a form on which we, as individuals, have very little effect. still, we are the only ones that can attempt to interpret them and use their messages in order to understand and try to create more sustainable and habitable cities.

the level on which squares communicate transcends every day life. careful observation and a lot of passion are necessary in order to interpret/translate their messages. many urban experts write and lecture on the topic of cities. in my work, I try to match those thoughts with my interpretation of the urban square.

this project is a hybrid between a scientific and an artistic approach to the subject. I am aware that this narrow path between them might be speculative and perhaps not 100% accurate, but the objective is to have more freedom in interpreting the facts, and then provoke action from interested and influential people. I am planning a series of public appearances, conferences, lectures and exhibitions. a 24 page promotional booklet has been also printed. most of this work is available on my web site: http://urbansquares.com
