Heartwalk: Heart-Shaped Art Installation Made Of Boardwalk Planks Salvaged After Hurricane Sandy

Heartwalk is a new heart-shaped public art installation made of boardwalk planks salvaged after Hurricane Sandy. The LED-laced pavilion installed in Duffy Square (in the heart of Times Square) was conceptualized and designed by Brooklyn-based design firm Situ Studio, winner of this year’s annual Times Square Valentine Heart Design. The artwork was inspired by the “collective experience of Hurricane Sandy and the love that binds people together during trying times.” Each year, the Times Square Alliance invites architecture and design firms to submit proposals for a romantic public art installation celebrating Valentine’s Day in Times Square. Heartwalk was unveiled yesterday, and will remain on view until March 10, 2013.

Three-Minute Digital Art in Times Square: Tracey Emin's "I Promise To Love You"

Love is in the air in Times Square. At 11:57 every night this February, Tracey Emin's new work, "I Promise To Love You" is being featured in the heart of Times Square. Her new digital art work consists of neon signs that include the phrases "Love is what you want," "You touch my soul," and "I can't believe how much I loved you", spelled out as if written by an invisible hand. The project is part of the "Midnight Moment" presentation, an initiative by the Times Square Advertising Coalition who have granted the Times Square Alliance three minutes a day to organize fleeting public art projects.
