“In a dark time, the eyes begin to see.” That’s a quote from American poet Theodore Roethke, and it pretty closely describes the truth of urban artists. We asked eight of the most visionary to express their ideas about energy, transportation, and commerce as these issues relate to the neighborhoods they call home. They understand these things are important for everyone and said so in unbounded ways. Their kinetic visions are harbingers of transformations to come, of turning ideas into action one urban block after the next.
