Your Dream Attraction, 2017
Coney Island was the incubator for Manhattan’s ability to create synthetic urban experiences.
– Rem Koolhaas, Delirious New York
Inspired by Koolhaas's observation, we setup an interactive futuring station on Coney Island's historic boardwalk. This pop-up installation explored how amusement rides have historically served as experimental testbeds for future urban experiences. Engaging with visitors, we collaboratively imagined and designed fictional attractions. Each participant received a personalized postcard-ticket in the mail featuring their envisioned ride, creating a lasting connection between Coney Island's innovative past and its speculative future.
