Project Neon began as Kirsten Hively's personal project to photograph a selection of working neon signs in New York, but quickly expanded to become an ongoing endeavor to photograph, map, and document the city's neon glow. Hively has developed an iPhone app to help New Yorkers, visitors, and armchair travelers explore the city's unique collection of neon signage; a blog documenting weekly visits to neon-bedecked establishments; a Twitter feed to spread the news about neon newcomers (and, alas, disappearances); and an ever-expanding set of mapped photos (currently numbering over 600) available for perusal on Flickr. Hively will discuss her Project Neon adventures and showcase her illuminating photos, currently on view at the City Reliquary in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
