Ribbon只是整个城市都在进行的有趣活动的一部分，这些活动从壁画到增强现实体验，都专注于重新连接社区。随着我们回归社会环境，我们逐渐意识到需要以包容的方式重建与他人的联系。Ribbon作为一种临时装置，它着眼于通过开放的娱乐设计，将现有的空间和基础设施改造成社交互动和公共活动平台。
Ribbon is just one component of an ecosystem of playful urban activations happening throughout the city, from murals to augmented reality experiences, all focused on reconnecting the community to one another. As we all begin to be reintroduced into social environments, we are becoming increasingly aware of the need for inclusive ways to reconnect with one another. Ribbon was developed as a temporary installation that looks at new ways of adapting existing spaces and infrastructure to become platforms for social interaction and communal activity through open-ended play design.

Ribbon以有趣的形态遍布长岛市的若干人行道和公共空间，并勾勒出城市的不同时刻。这件作品巧妙地打乱着人们的日常生活，鼓励人们以新方式看待周围的环境。其连贯的外形如同一条丝带，引导人们离开前进的道路，进入以前可能没有探索过的区域。
Ribbon acts as a playful gesture, wrapping around and framing out different moments throughout several pedestrian pathways and communal spaces within Long Island City. The piece begins to playfully disrupt one’s daily routine and encourages them to begin to look at their surrounding context in new ways. The flowing motion of the work acts like a piece of ribbon guiding you off your path and into areas you may not have explored previously.

该作品成为一系列经典地标，总是随着人、风景以及他们之间的互动而变化，并引发难忘的经历，鼓励人们以新的方式回来与该作品和周围空间互动。该作品伸出基座，允许使用者通过旋转连接到主结构上的每个单元来实际参与和操纵这些部件。当人们开始转动这些部件时，他们不仅改变了作品本身，而且也通过作品对环境的反射和折射能力影响了周围区域。
The work becomes a series of timeless landmarks, always changing and responding to the people, the landscape, and the interactions between them, and sparking memorable experiences that keep encouraging people to come back and engage with the work, the surrounding spaces, and each other in new ways. The work steps off the pedestal and allows users to physically engage and manipulate the pieces by rotating each of the units attached to the main structure. As one begins to move the kinetic pieces, they begin to not only transform the work itself, but also manipulate the surrounding area through the work’s ability to reflect and refract light onto the built environment.

The units not only provide a filtered perspective of the space, but also contain love notes to Long Island City written by community members. These love notes are submitted by community members through a QR code on the ground at the site, and are added to the work over time. These love notes range from poems to motivational quotes written by the community and visitors, and become drivers for conversations within the space. Ribbon becomes a collaborative, communal platform existing in harmony with the surrounding context brought to life through the engagement of its users.

凭借The Urban Conga、Hive Public Space、几家私营企业、纽约市公园和娱乐部、Boyce Technologies以及Long Island City Partnership的合作，该项目得以实现。它采用模块化形式，以便拆卸并运输到城市的其他空间。随着装置的游历，它将继续各个社区的爱心留言，并展示多样的城市透视以及它带给不同社区成员的东西。
This project required coordination between The Urban Conga, Hive Public Space, several private businesses, NYC Parks and Recreation, Boyce Technologies, and the Long Island City Partnership to make it happen. The project was developed in modular forms to allow easy disassembly and the ability to be transported into another space within the city. As it travels around, it will continue to share the communities’ love notes provided in each area, and will display the various perceptions of the city and what it has provided for different community members.
