⪡⪢ Curtain 76: Interactive Presentations and the Web
guscuddy.substack.com
Greetings my fellow human beings— This is The Curtain, and I’m Gus. Brooklyn has been feeling spirited and alive this past week. Walking down Vanderbilt Ave and seeing the throng of people eating outside, sitting on beach chairs, blasting music – all in a pedestrianized area, all as if in synchronous vibration – can be exhiliarting. Rambling through Prospect Park in the ascending evening, I swear I see more people there – and more of a riotous party happening – than pre-pandemic times. There’s a buoyancy and lightness to the air, even as the shadow of COVID-19 still hangs over everything. And that shadow certainly lingers: it does affect a certain color of the mood, perhaps lives in the collective consciousness (though some people choose to ignore it). It’s hard not to wonder the story behind each abandoned business I see; the streets still have the lingering reality of death in their memory.
