New Orleans's Drive Project
In the deluge of Katrina related art, one project that stands out is Bill Klingensmith's Drive Project. Klingensmith, a professor of design at the University of Rochester, hooked up a camera to his car and drove through the recovering city. Then he created an interactive map of the neighborhoods that links to some of the 8,000 shots he took. Though some sequences seem random, many are affecting, both aesthetically and emotionally. As an added interactive "bonus," there are 10 specially etched bottles Klingensmith planted throughout the city for you to find. Finders, he says, keepers.
