Bard Alumni Matthew Wing ’06 and Adam Janos ’06 Interviewed in City & State New York

L–R: Matthew Wing ’06; Adam Janos ’06.
Bard alumni Matthew Wing ’06 and Adam Janos ’06 spoke with City & State New York about Hack_NY, an Instagram account they cofounded with their friend and colleague Julian Klepper to promote awareness about government programs and benefits that can improve the lives of the public. The videos produced for the account are reminiscent of Saturday Night Live skits, designed to be a lighthearted and humorous way to educate viewers about lesser known programs. “We're trying to get people to be civically engaged with public servants, public service and their government which works for them and exists to serve their needs and make their lives better,” said Wing. “At a time when the very nature and existence of government is being questioned and to some degree persecuted, I think it's good and nice to hold up beautiful pieces of art that just say, this is a nice thing that people should enjoy, that makes lives better.”
