About
Resonant City is an interdisciplinary research collaborative exploring the intersections of art, architecture, technology, the immediate past, enduring present, and possible futures. In the course of our explorations we hope to illuminate a subtle yet critical discourse underlying the construction of nature, landscape, the city, and cultural production.
Welcome to Resonant City.

part of the kickoff to the 75th anniversary and will remain on view to the public free of charge through October 2012.
