This is a project I really really really love. They took pictures of New York City landmarks and comped them into other landscapes, and then wrote stories about them. It’s incredibly well done, gorgeous, and makes me so so happy. I even love the illustrations they’ve done for the index at the bottom of the page. And all of it is presented on a beautiful and incredibly thematic website. It’s perfect....

I found out about Steyerl from this New Yorker Article: Hito Steyerl’s Digital Visions. It’s a good read, but the thing that stuck out to me the most was the title of a 2013 work of hers: How Not to be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File As of writing, you can watch the whole thing here: https://www.artforum.com/video/hito-steyerl-how-not-to-be-seen-a-fucking-didactic-educational-mov-file-2013-51651. It’s about 16 minutes long. It’s pretty great.
