From Citysol's website
Solar One presents Citysol 2007, a clean-energy-powered festival that aims to inspire interest and support for local sustainability intiatives through, music, interactive art installations, games and workshops, and numerous other elements meant to both entertain and educate.Sustainability is at bottom a cultural project before it is a technical or political one, and cities -- particularly New York City -- are centers of constant transformation that reflect, invent and export civilization's most progressive dreams. We're beginning to learn that if the American way of life is to ultimately reconcile with Mother Earth, the journey is more likely to begin on a city street.
Citysol is at once a celebration of our potential as New Yorkers to redefine our expectations of quality of life, and a tribute to the creative community's central role in revealing that potential. It is also, of course, an opportunity to have an enormous amount of fun.
