The restored and reborn Emigrant Savings Bank on Chambers Street is now accessible to anyone with $30 and a taste for digital glitz. JDavidsonNYC reports on Hall des Lumières and its wraparound digital art
Is any workspace more definitively obsolete than a grand banking hall with fancy grillwork over the teller windows and a round stone table for writing checks and filling out withdrawal slips? Entering the former Emigrant Savings Bank on Chambers Street feels like slipping into the hoary past, and not just because some of us can barely remember cash, let alone savings passbooks and carbon paper. That public room dates from an era when everyday routines were ennobled by design.
Lately, such ornate white-marble elephants have turned into venues for fundraisers and corporate holiday parties. Once emblems of egalitarian democracy, they became off limits to anyone not on the guest list. The restaurant–club–event company Cipriani has taken over the Merchants’ Exchange, the, the Cunard Building , and the Bowery Savings Bank. On the other hand, the restored and reborn Emigrant’s hall is accessible to anyone with $30 and a taste for digital glitz.
That’s a lot of effort and expense to put into a design that the public will glimpse only briefly while waiting for the spectacle to start. Yet deep in the DNA of the immersive art exhibition is the, a sound-and-light show invented for a Loire Valley château in 1952 and popularized in subsequent decades, in which historical events were projected on the façade of a monument or cathedral to a booming soundtrack of stagy dialogue, music, and cannon shots.
