12th annual D.U.B.O. art under the bridge festival.
September 26-28, 2008 I went to DUMBO festival!
I could enter artists' studio and see outdoor installations for free.
Dumbo festival is very interesting!
I want to introduce several works related digital design seen at Dumbo.

Dumbo, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a neighborhood in the New York City, New york borough of Brooklyn. It encompasses two sections; one located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, which connect Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River, and another which continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hill area.

This video is little bit sensational or serious.
When I saw this performance using digital media at Dumbo festival, I got a shock because he did not were clothes, he just wear a underwear.
Although he choose sensational way to express his idea, he made people focus on his performance by using multimedia; waving American flag, moving scissors.
As I saw this multimedia performance, I felt digital design are able to use not only normal way; web, film but also this kind of performance for political incitement.
Against the backdrop of an animated skull-spangled (studded) American flag, and with animated projections underfoot, a performer, covered with images of tortured U.S war detainees endures while onlookers strip away the images with forceps. Torture ends when the last image is removed.
