The New York Subway Signs Experiment

I stumbled across this performance piece called The New York Subway Signs Experiment by Yosef Lerner and Rose Sacktor.

In their words:

There are 468 subway stations in NYC. Each one has a white and black striped board. Conductors point to the board to prove that they’re paying attention. It’s kind of silly.But they have to. At every single stop. Let’s make their day.

The list of signs included:

• You are not wearing pants right now
• You have taken a selfie while driving
• You have seen a passenger naked
• Shoot the target with your laser finger (bullseye)
• You are dead sexy
• You still love Thomas The Tank Engine
• Snape kills Dumbledore
• The 2nd Ave Subway is a lie
• NY is the greatest city in the world

It made me smile, even more so that this time next week I’ll probably be on the subway as I’m New York bound.

All aboard!
