Sheena Wright, president of the United Way of New York City, represents one of the smallest organizations on the list in terms of financial might.

Email: [email protected] Kinetic Architecture and Aerial Rides: Towards a Media Archaeology of the Revolving Restaurant View n Synne Tollerud Bull University of Oslo, Norway [email protected] Ever since the erection of the Eiffel Tower in 1889 and its overwhelming public success, cities have continued to incorporate various types of kinetic observation structures into their urban tissue, serving as an influential visual medium for the masses. In my media- archeological project, of which this text is a part, I explore how the experience and current innovation of these structures relate to the new imaging technologies that shape our contemporary media culture. In this text I will be treating the revolving restaurant as an optical device, where the attributes of elevated view combined with mechanical motion evoke a cinematic experience. In order to describe the relationship to cinema that such a view inhabits, I have turned to what I call cinéma trouvé—a cinematic experience of sites or places outside the traditional cinematic apparatus. The artist duo Bull.Miletic (2011) have written about the genealogy of the revolving restaurant view as a panoramic desire starting from the Italian veduta, the Claude glass, and the picturesque gardens of the early eighteenth century.

    C8 HAMODIA 8 CHESHVAN 5773 OCTOBER 24, 2012 Community Feature / By Yosef Rapaport The Man Behind the (New York) Wheel Changing New York’s Iconic Skyline ur community has seen many developments in the advancement O of Orthodox Jews’ involvement in commerce and politics since the bulk of our communities’ arrival to our shores. Some have achieved great success in retail, real estate or traditional manufacturing. It is not unusual to see an Orthodox Jew as a prominent developer of a skyscraper or as mayor of a nice-sized village or district, sometimes in full Chassidic garb, doing his chosen work. Yes, we have arrived. Still even those who pay close attention to the growth of committed Chassidic Jews’ involvement in all spheres of American enterprise are in disbelief that a young Satmar chassid from Boro Park is the founder and chairman of the New York Wheel, a planned giant Ferris Wheel being built on the northeastern shore of Staten Island. The New York Wheel will be the world’s tallest “observation wheel” in the world and the only attraction of its kind in New York City. The 625-foot (roughly 60-story) Wheel will feature 36 capsules, each carry- ing up to 40 passengers, and will offer incomparable views of lower and midtown Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor, and beyond, for the duration of each 38-minute revolution. In terms of size, scope, and spectacular sights, the completed attraction promises to rival the London Eye, the Eiffel Tower, and the Sydney Harbor Opera House. The attraction will accommodate as many as 1,440 people per trip, and will welcome as many as 30,000 visitors each day and an The New York Wheel anticipated 4.5 million visitors per year.
