The map function on Popwalk leads users to the locations of artworks and unlocks the works for viewing when the user has arrived at the location intended by the artist for viewing the artwork. Recordings of the various performances from the festival will be uploaded to the Popwalk platform, becoming a site-specific archive of the event. By exhibiting the works from the festival on Popwalk, many more viewers will be able to experience the works in a way that reflects the original context and experience of the work.
Pollinate is a community-driven art platform connecting individuals to practiced artists and rich creative experiences. Pollinate utilizes digital technologies to engage communities unifying the artist and art lover.

WHY
Art in Odd Places (AiOP) is an annual festival that presents visual and performance art in public spaces along 14th Street in Manhattan, NYC from Avenue C to the Hudson River each October. Active in New York City since 2005, AiOP aims to stretch the boundaries of communication in the public realm by presenting artworks in all disciplines outside the confines of traditional public space regulations. Using 14th Street as a laboratory, this project continues AiOP's work to locate cracks in public space policies and to inspire the popular imagination for new possibilities and engagement with civic space.
AiOP is a project of GOH Productions.
