The West Harlem Art Fund in collaboration with Pratt’s Digital Media Arts will present four Northern Manhattan artists in the group installation – SYNCED on Saturday, October 10th from 6-10 pm. The artists are Rafia Santana, Charlie Reynoso, Dianne Smith and Debra Swack. And this Harlem/Brooklyn collaboration is for the intervention series Under the Viaduct.

Digital artist Debra Swack is presenting Animal Patterning Project 132-133, a journey that covers one city block under the viaduct in West Harlem. This multidisciplinary performance celebrates the tenacity of humans and animals to persevere in an urban environment. Swack is collaborating with dance choreographer Ellen Maynard, Pratt professor, Matt Broach and students from his digital class to create a work that blends the movement of live dancers and technology. Dancers include Ellen Maynard, Louise Benkelman and Quentin Burley. 

UNDER THE VIADUCT is an art & lifestyle series where folks can meet, bike, skate or dine in an open-air plaza. Situated in West Harlem on 12^th Avenue and near the Hudson River, residents and fellow New Yorkers can enjoy passive recreation in the daytime and when the sun starts going down, engage in dance, digital and reflective art under the 12^th Avenue Viaduct.
