1. Bonus: Spencer Finch, “The River That Flows Both Ways”
It’s hard to walk the High Line without a mention of Spencer Finch and his permanent installation “The River That Flows Both Ways” whereby he documented a 700-minute (11 hours, 40 minutes) journey on the Hudson Rive from a tugboat, photographing the surface once every minute. The color of each pane of glass is based on a single pixel point in each photograph and arranged chronologically.
