a loft 16 min., silent, color, 2010 computer assistance; Nisi Jacobs A 3-D glimpse of a downtown Manhattan artist?s loft about to give birth to new artist?s lofts, which is odd, seeing that dentists and the minor hirelings of high finance are likely to be the new renters and buyers. Also odd is the absence of any 3-D technology.
