Digital media radically alters our social landscape. Now it's time for it to alter our physical landscape! Urban Renewal is a live performance that "renovates" the familiar skyline of Providence. Performers react to a video of the city skyline as shot from the now demolished I-195 highway bridge, using it as a graphical score. The video of the skyline, however, also reacts to the music being performed. Each performer has the ability to modify the city in a different way using the sound of their instrument. The Providence skyline is both used as a score and rearranged live, giving us a fresh look at our city.
