An image from a sound installation showing existing urban planning of the Cooper Hewitt Museum, Sacred Heart School and other buildings in atmospheric perspective where fog blurs the urban landscape in grayscale situated right of center and east of Fifth Avenue looking north. All imagery is rendered in one-point perspective to show the illusion of depth. Large trees taller than the buildings hover over Fifth Avenue from the west side of Fifth Avenue also in grayscale. A bus shelter on the west side protects riders from extreme weather as well as informing them of the status of bus locations in real-time using a computerized map and analog clock. Pedestrian sidewalk traffic and bike lane traffic representing mobility on the west side of Fifth Avenue as well as the unlined street are rendered in tints, tones and shades of brown. Pedestrian, bus and car traffic representing mobility in the center and on the east side of Fifth Avenue are rendered in tints, tones and shades of orange, white and black using contour lines for a flattened effect of imagery. The use of different colors and effects divide the image into existing urban planning and future options for mobility. Colors are an engaging contrast to grayscale.

Close up photograph of a self-driving delivery robot on a paved road lined by trees and street lights. No other vehicles or people are visible and the impression is that the robot is in a pedestrian area or park. The device has simple, elegant, rounded lines. Its main body, resembling a box or ice cooler, is shiny white, with a downward curved white lid and a black trim. In the front, just below the lid, there is an array of cameras behind a transparent plastic shield. Further down, on the side, there is an array of what appear to be five LED lights. The robot has six black wheels, three on each side, with a yellow trim near the edge. In the front right corner, one black pole, possibly an antenna, extends vertically for approximately 2.5 times the height of the robot, and is topped by a red flag. The flag seems to be made of a hard material such as plastic or metal.

Video still combining a photograph and a digital image. In the lower third, we see a panoramic color photograph of an intersection, with street lights, vehicles, and pedestrian crossings. Occupying the two upper thirds of the image, we see a digital rendering of the same intersection. In the center of the digital rendering we see the icon of a white vehicle with a black dome on the roof, possibly representing a self-driving car with sensors exploring the surroundings. Around each vehicle (car, bus), pedestrian and cyclist on the road we see the outline of parallelepiped with a distinctive color, from which a line in the same color seems to predict the trajectory (path). Close to each vehicle there are also numbers, possibly representing speed or position information. The street lights are on green as in the photograph. On the upper left quadrant, we see the icon of a “men at work” sign.
