The Pratt Institute has this interesting exhibit right now that combines psychology and topography. It’s called “You Are Here: Mapping the Psychogeography of New York City.” Psychogeography, from what I learned, is the study of the effects of geographical setting on the emotions and behavior of individuals. Most interesting were the “Loneliness Map” (pictured above) that shows where most Missed Connections happen in Manhattan (Union Square, on the L, and surprisingly at Terminal 5, which the artist attributed to a recent Daft Punk concert), and the anxiety map of the five boroughs. The exhibit is worth a quick trip but it ends this weekend. View high resolution
