SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up at The Oculus
DESCRIPTION:The NYC PIT Pop-Up (aka NYC Public Interest Tech Pop-Up) is a temporary\, immersive\, pop-up event where technology\, art\, science\, and community converge. For ten days\, a storefront space in the South Concourse of the iconic Oculus/World Trade Center Transit Hub will become part gallery\, part workshop\, and part future commons.

Visitors will be encouraged to leave their ideas behind and invited to watch them grow even after they leave. \n\n\n\nZine Station: On-site PIT zine making with student and community partners. \n\n\n\nPartners & Voices: \n\n\n\nCUNY PIT Lab is teaming up with artists\, technologists\, justice organizers\, and nonprofits including: \n\n\n\n\nBetaNYC – Mapping for equity and open data demos\n\n\n\nNY PIT Regional Hub (members from Fordham\, NYU\, Columbia)\n\n\n\nPIT-UN.org\n\n\n\nCyberCollective – on surveillance and abolition\n\n\n\nRoadtrip Nation – Tech for Us documentary\n\n\n\nJustice-involved and immigrant rights groups\n\n\n\nScholars and students from across NYC\n\n\n\n\n…and more (zine makers\, musicians\, pop-up collaborators and neighbors!) \n\n\n\nwww.nycpitpopup.org \n\n\n\nAll media inquiries: PITLab@cuny.edu
