Vito Acconci reads from writings on virtual and real cities. "...as we start to think of the high line's future, we don't have to preserve the look of the high line but we want to preserve its history as an event, a circulation route. If we don't, if we can't make the park move actually, we can make it move virtually. What the movement shouldn't do is make change in the park unneccesary..."
though often disliked because of his early performance works, acconci brilliantly understands cities and urban spaces.
