With these videos I examined the spaces in a landscape dedicated to a spectacle. In the first video taken outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art alongside Central Park, I focus on a fountain designed by Laurie Olin. Behind the fountain is the que to get into the Met itself. As the film rolls on you can see how the fountain dances in the plaza and the que elegantly moves along behind it. While the spectacle of the art inside the Met awaits, the people in line can still be entertained by the plaza space. This was one of many places we visited that dedicated not only a massive indoor space to people, but a large outdoor public space as well.
In the second video taken at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, the spectacle is what takes place on the field. While there was a large amount of queuing to get into the stadium and for food a majority of your time in a stadium should be spent in your seat. Unlike the museums where you circulate around art pieces the art unfolds in front of you. This spectacle is further embellished by its scale. A field larger than Bryant Park is occupied by 18 people, while thousands watch from the stands and million tune in from home.
