Tony Oursler's Tear of the Cloud series intrigued me the most out of the videos today. His projections on structures, trees, water, and more make the overlooked parts of a city stand out.

I saw this statue of the Beatles in Liverpool, England. i think this piece in particular is about its specific location since it is where the iconic band was formed.

Installations like this are very interesting because they are able to engage the audience and by doing something simple, they are able to bring lots of interest into a space - Anna Ledbetter

"This installation doubles as a playground, with green rubber flooring covered in yellow polka dots for children to run around on. Next to the pumpkin are several more colourful pieces by Kusama including sculptures of curious looking creatures and tall mushrooms that look like they’ve come out of a story book."

Berkana- Specifically, the interactive nature of this piece appealed to me. For people to experience history meeting the current was attractive.

This public sculpture is located underneath a bridge in Seattle, WA. I like that its plays off the old story of the troll under the bridge. Its scale is colossal which makes it all the more eerie and creepy

This is a mural by Vhils. Vhils is a Portuguese artist whose work I enjoy because he uses discarded materials to make large scale works about the people who inhabit urban spaces.

I have always been a huge fan of murals as public art, they are a way to bring in different ideas and beauty into a space that was previously blank, and without personality. This is just one section of a very long mural by Judy Baca that was executed with the help of the community - Anna Ledbetter

Oursler stood out from the videos to me due to the use of his surfaces for projection, bringing life to objects that wouldn't otherwise be connected with art. The sheer scale of these projections also bring another level to this art, it makes it an incredible visible piece, though I particularly took notice of the fact that he projected on water.

A series of road signs that depict different symbols paired with their name in the Cahuilla language. These signs are located throughout Palm Springs and was made in collaboration with the Palm Springs Public Art Commission. They serve as an important reminder of those that existed in the land before where people are present.

Berkana- This set of public multi-media murals are some of my biggest inspirations, touching themes of diversity, domestic abuse, and sexual violence

i love the way this piece captures light in this space, and catches your eye with the reflections and colors. it feels joyful and happy, and creates this really compelling, childlike shape. - kai karafotis

This billboard series by Xaviera Simmons inspired my last project and has led me to think about signage and using site specificity for social justice

A sign made up of letters that spelled out “INDIAN LAND” and were forty five feet tall in reference to the classic Hollywood sign in California that originally spelled out “HOLLYWOODLAND." It was put in place to advertise a whites-only area at the time and it also has connections to Palm Springs becoming a space that was prominent for those in the film industry when studio contracts of the time would limit actors’ travels, and the presentation of stolen land being open for all in movies. This piece also addresses the history of colonization in America, and calls for “settler landowners to participate in the work by transferring land titles and management to local Indigenous communities." Nicholas wanted to make a point too that while people are beginning to address the people who were on the land before them it can be performative when the same people do not support the LANDBACK movement and what it wants to accomplish.

buckets are tied together with rope to create this moldable wave shape, representing buckets used by "street entrepreneurs" to create parking spaces that people need to pay for in order to park. the piece is about reclaiming public space for the public - kai karafotis

Berkana- I appreciated the commentary on the social, physical, and spiritual connectedness of the African American diaspora to the slave trade. The subtly of this piece gives an element on contemplation and surprise which I'm drawn to
