IRL: Art On Google Maps Smackdown

Paddy Johnson is taking the search for art on Google Maps to a place it's never been before: In Real Life.

This Saturday, at Capricious Space in Brooklyn, Paddy is hosting a Google Maps artwork faceoff, a real-world, real-time challenge between two artists, James Turrell and Alice Aycock, to see which artist has more works visible to Google's Eye In The Sky.

Check out details and get a headstart online at ArtFagCity. Meanwhile, I'll be checking Capricious on Google StreetView regularly; I better not see you loafing around outside with the smokers.

Since 2001 here at greg.org, I've been blogging about the creative process—my own and those of people who interest me. That mostly involves filmmaking, art, writing, research, and the making thereof.

Many thanks to the Creative Capital | Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Program for supporting greg.org that time.
