After 17 years, The New York Times is bidding farewell to the “Moveable Type” public art installation in its lobby. The dynamic artwork, which blends art, technology, and journalism, has captivated visitors with its visual narrative of news and communication. Created by Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen, the installation reflects the changing landscape of digital news and The Times’s transition to new platforms. While details about the replacement exhibit are forthcoming, “Moveable Type” will continue to be on display until mid-August. The next chapter for the artwork, once removed, remains uncertain, but Rubin and Hansen are excited for what’s ahead.
