As you know, there is this little event on Thursday evening in New York that I've been planning and I'd love for you to join us. So would Flavorpill, which made 1000Stories this week's feature:
"Our country's current terrorist readiness may send police-state signals to countries beyond our borders, but on a recent trip to New York, German new-media artist and documentarian Florian Talhofer found Gotham relatively unchanged. To chronicle our national culture as an outsider, the Berliner begins 1000 Stories, a road-trip-as-social-experiment on October 1st, blogging stories and vlogging interviews with "typical" Americans — whatever that might mean. Visitors can suggest itineraries or reply to the "Americans Wanted" ad through the website, but the tour runs through the Big Apple on Thursday, 9.27, and the famed Goethe-Institut fêtes the endeavor with a 1000 Stories Launch Party featuring DJ Maxx Klaxon and video artist Katja Loher. RSVP and you could find yourself digitally immortalized as an "average" New Yorker. (IB)
Note: American filmmaker Mark Simon is making the same trek across Germany (albeit by car) as part of the cross-cultural venture."
