Beautiful video of Aakash Nihalani creating his "tape art" interventiions in New York City's public spaces. By taking us with him (through his tape interventions) I think Nihalani is really re-imagining and re-seeing space, and that's an amazing gift to the rest of us.

"When artist Aakash Nihalani moved from the suburbs to NYC he was compelled by its symmetry. As an organic response he started laying down tape on the streets and on buildings, creating brightly colored sticker tape boxes framing aspects of the city he wanted to show people, creating tableaus from real life. Both uncomfortable at potentially defacing property by using permanent materials, and enraged at the continued treatment of public artists as vandals, we join him as he brings 3D to his work for the first time, via use of mirrors and passers-by, and discuss why impermanence is important to the acceptance of street art."
