PARALLEL UNIVERSES

2. The Modern Ghetto is a symposium
discussing gentrification and
the loss of autheniticity in the
boroughs of New York City.

3. FIRST DIGITAL ATTEMPT

4. This intial idea highlighted or at least tried
to highlight the depth of this issue. I was
specifically thinking about how the authenticity
and overall culture of an area fades once
people of that background start to move out
and be replaced by a more affluent and racially
diverse demographic.
DESCRIPTION OF INITIAL IDEA

5. FIRST ATTEMPT - DRAFT 02

6. I thought a lot more about parallel universes,
how it related to my topic, and any stories that
I’ve heard from people experiencing it first-
hand. This led me to thinking about the shift
from hand made/hands-on design to computer
driven/created design and how it compares.
This coexistence of the hand and computer
relates to the residents of gentrifying areas that
remember what it was like before and how their
neighborhoods have changed.
