Tommy Hartung's Budget Guide to New York

Tommy Hartung is one of the artists that was on the list for our presentation but we didn't get a chance to talk about. I was curious to find out more about these artists that we didn't get to cover and came across some of Hartung's work that I found to be quite interesting.

This art21 video follows Hartung around in Brooklyn, showing his routine and how much he spends in a day to survive in New York as an artist:

This is a trailer to one of his works, “R.U.R. Act One: The Viewer”. It's really not what I expected his work to look like after seeing his art21 video, and it really reminded me of the animations we created:

Finally this other video by art21 peeks into his workspace and how his runs taken during breaks has led him to aspire to run in marathons in the future:
