I’ve Lived: Post-it Notes for Neighbors
I’ve Lived: Post-it Notes for Neighbors is an interactive installation that helps demystify the topic of how much New Yorkers pay for their apartments by inviting local residents and other passers-by to share information about their living situation. Inspired by Illegal Art’s “To Do” installation, this participatory project covers a storefront window with Post-it notes stamped with specific fill-in-the-blank forms. Passers-by can fill in a note with their own apartment information and balk at the high and low numbers paid by others.
By the end of the week, the window will have transformed into a useful collection of personal notes created by and relevant to the community, as well as serve as a reflection of changing real estate values.
