The internet project New York City Map is a sort of virtual guide of New York City. But it isn´t a guide in the usual sense. While "walking" through these Web pages visitors can, as they choose, find themself "standing" on a particular street, look at photographs, listen to sounds and even read something. In contrast to traditional maps, the aim of NYC Map is not to document the layout of the city or point out its most famous tourist attractions. With the NYCMap I´ve tried to capture the atmosphere, the energy, or that someting (Something?) which makes New York City so curiously different from other cities with skyscrapers.
