Modern art for landmark building and park

The Tweed Courthouse
By DIVYA WATAL

The Tweed Courthouse, an historic landmark on Chambers Street, has impressed passersby with its Victorian steps, Corinthian columns, and marble cornices ever since its $85 million restoration in 1999. But on Wednesday, people were struck by a digital addition.

The courthouse, which houses the Department of Education, now sports two digital screens flanking its main steps, with each screen displaying an androgynous person in incessant motion.

“The walking people are kind of eerie,” said a courthouse visitor, Josh, who declined to give his last name. “It’s like a treadmill that never stops — it’s uncomfortable to watch.”

“I like it, but it’s definitely strange,” he added.
