What would statues say if they could talk?

The Times Square Alliance works to improve and promote Times Square - cultivating the creativity, energy and edge that have made the area an icon of entertainment, culture and urban life for over a century. David Peter Fox’s rich understanding of the technology behind the Talking Statues® program allowed for a very easy process in building this out so it could become something the public could enjoy on a daily basis.

The Talking Statues Project is an exciting and engaging resource. New York City is a diverse city. However, the statues in NYC are not. That is going to change as new statues of historical women are being created. We will continue to encourage teachers to utilize this wonderful free resource.

Something brand new in NYC, created in Europe and now in the Apple, talking history. Over 30 statues and monuments around the 5 boroughs of New York now tell you the story of themselves. Great job, NYC wonderful idea. Check it out and see how many statues you can find! Highly recommended!

This will be an exciting and rare instance where our temporary public art program will merge with and inform the permanent monuments and sculptures in the City’s collection. We feel that Talking Sculptures will be an asset to the City’s historical and artistic discourse and Parks’ Art in the Parks program.

As a history museum we are always striving to find ways to engage the general public in understanding the past and we find Talking Statues extremely effective in making historical figures approachable and exciting. We were proud to host the launch of Talking Statues in 2017 and enjoyed working with David Peter Fox and his team, who showed utmost professionalism. I highly recommend David Peter Fox and Talking Statues and am willing to speak with any potential clients regarding our experience working with him.
