The Signal and the Noise

​For three hours, we will dissect a city block from top to bottom: telephone cables, streetlights, surveillance cameras, traffic lights, streetcar cables, municipal signage, sidewalk markings, street grates, water mains, internet cables, sewage pipes, subway tracks.

​We will learn the language of utility covers; we will play street crossing buttons like an instrument; we will begin to notice surveillance cameras everywhere.

​Be warned: after this tour, you will never be able to look at a normal city block the same way again.

​Duration: 3hrs.

Location: Our intersection is Dundas & McCaul. We will meet at the corner of Grange Rd. and McCaul street near the Bike Share station.
