NYC Visual Code is a visual project presented at the School of Visual Arts in New York and developed for RUFA’s Tracks of Freedom 2025, whose theme was “micro-Macro”. Every city speaks, but how often do we really stop to listen? In the walls, the faded signs and the hidden details lives a silent language, and the project reads New York as a text to decode, starting from a simple question: what do we miss while living the city? The city was explored on foot with no fixed path, photographing the micro of overlooked details in which the Macro of the city is written. From these photographs, symbols were extracted and redesigned as icons, forming an urban code. The result is a poster built around three words, LOVE, FEEL, SEEK, an invitation to look differently at what surrounds us.
