Paradise Boulevard

No Man’s Land includes a series of digital images created through a process where printed photographs are re-scanned, manipulating the photographs as the scanner processes the image. The result is a set of works that take representational images and re-imagines them as abstracted landscapes that recall the bent light rays produced by mirages. Using mapped projections integrated into the landscape, along with the video of simulated environments comprised of the physical dust of the Mojave desert, an interactive installation creates a simulation of a new proposed landscape. Each manipulated landscape is named after one of the proposed roads in Nat Mendelsohn’s California City.
