[some] ps1 finalists
_3/5 youngfinalists for the PS1, exhibited in MoMA-3rd floor
the photos are from the exhibition.
there was only one image per submission
i chose to shoot these 3, from top to down:
howeler + yoon,
kivi sotamaa,
obra [the winners].
i just realise that yoon from howeler + yoon/ mystudio is the author of the absence book related to the world trade center [very hot topic these days in ny]: i was reading a critique about it in this week's new yorker from peter schjeldahl [page 15].
check the website of howeler+yoon and you will see a very well presented project for ps1 without text and also the very famous interactive project white noise/ white light that took place in athens in 2004.
kivi sotamaa is coming form finland with a significant presence in usa. there is a a short text from him here. i think the project on the picture is inside the book digital tectonics.
check the obra website also to see the beatfuse! project [again]. =]

I don't know how you found the winning project, but as far as I am concerned I am a fan of Meejin Yoon project...Rumours has it that it did not win due to the cost of construction...Pity...
howeler+yoon is my favorite as well!
once i talked with someone from ps1 on the phone and he told me that there is no competition; the participants are nominated... sometimes i am wondering about their criteria, especially if i think of the last year's project!!!
Oh yeah! The thing is that certainly PS1 is not an open competition. Participants are pre-selected!
