Giorgia Lupi has designed a data-driven animation for Fulton Center, with the synchronized artwork spanning all 52 screens across the FIDI transit hub. The animated installation, A Data Love Letter to the Subway, visualizes each train line as a character whose unique qualities are extracted from MTA data. Imaginatively unpacking and animating each line’s age, length, and path, Lupi writes a poetic story that explores the trains’ interwoven encounters with commuters and one another. By turning the overfamiliar into a dreamy narrative, Lupi’s Love Letter reveals the connections that hum in the background of our shared urban life.
