Cut & Paste NY


Bright lights, big city. Life moves faster in no-nonsense New York.

Home to more people than any other place in the US of A, the streets of this sleepless city are thick with eight million people and the eight million dreams that hang in the balance as their lives and livings are made. Caught between the corner bodegas and penthouse lofts, the pulsing nightlife and the daily grind, denizens of the five boroughs learn to grow a thick skin, talk fast, walk faster, and get a little aggressive to get by. Replete with neon signs, uptown finery, plaid-clad hipsters, culture vultures, and sad-faced Wall Street suits of black and blue, New York City—birthplace of Cut&Paste and capital of the world—keeps things colorful. And its designers will take on a challenge anytime, anyplace.

New York will host competitions in 2D, 3D, and Motion Graphics for Digital Design Tournament 2009. See the Competition Formats page for the rules and details of each of these platforms. Judges for New York include Jeff Staple of Staple Design (2D), Tristan Eaton of Thunderdog Studios (3D), and Eric Adolfsen of Brand New School (Motion). Check out the separate competition tabs above to find out who else will be hovering over our competitors' shoulders onstage.
And, of course, none of this will go down in silence: DJ
Rich Medina will be laying out the beats, injecting his own special dose of live energy to keep NYC on its happy feet.

This show is definitely unique in its own sense of choice of artists. Entering and exploring the exhibit, you will notice there may be only a handful of names that may ring a bell. Showcasing a more underground art scene, you learn and experience where all of these reoccurring styles in fashion, art, and music are coming from. Mediums used in the featured pieces range from video's including sound art, to photography, to canvas.
