Explore the gastronomic ecosystem of New York City in this 13-foot tall sculpture revealing the intricate relationship between the city's 17,619 eateries and its inhabitants' consumption patterns. Transforming statistics into a sculptural narrative, the Data Vandals explore the digital revolution that has fundamentally altered how New Yorkers consume food—where delivery apps command a 20% premium while the humble dollar slice—now priced at $1.50 becomes a tangible barometer of economic change in America's culinary epicenter.
