Los Angeles Spin by Jonathan Cecil was exhibited last May at the MFA Thesis show. It was a visually powerful piece that used satellite imagery of Downtown Los Angeles to created 3D textures. I see it as a critique on how much we’ve come to depend on services like Google Maps to understand our surrounding environment yet still only through the lens of our screen. The installation (video documentation below) was quite moving.
