I Lego New York

A while ago I wrote about NY Times blogger Christoph Niemann, a Berlin located art blogger who pixelated his bathroom.

Last Sunday he wrote a fascinating piece on the Abstract City blog how New York translates into Lego for him. The pictures featuring Lego shouldn’t be taken seriously all the time, so you better laugh about it.

You might need a bit of imagination in order to see Manhattan in three Lego bricks (or a MetroCard in a few more) but in the end it will probably make you laugh.

Here’s another one, featuring New York’s sushi culture.

Well, at least that’s a wholly different way to look at Lego.
