Elizabeth Currid, assistant professor in the School of Policy, Planning and Development at the University of Southern California, and Sarah Williams, director of the Spatial Information Design Lab at Columbia University, have used geo-coded Getty images to map the locations of art, culture, and social milieus in New York and L.A. The result, they say, is a better understanding of clustering and place-branding. Their exhibit opens tonight at Studio-X (180 Varick Street, Ste 1610) and runs through May 8, 2009.
