Planet Del Rio

Dolores Del Río Mural by Alfredo Batuc

Dolores Del Río, 1990 By Alfredo de Batuc 6529 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028

“Dolores Del Río” is part of SPARC’s Neighborhood Pride Mural program, whose intent is to create and represent the various cultural identities throughout Los Angeles neighborhoods. While it may not be a stretch to fathom how a 1920s movie star can be representative of Hollywood, the significance of the mural lies much deeper than the glitz and glam of the city. “In [the] Hollywood film industry, white supremacy is very mainstream,” de Batuc says. So when de Batuc responded to the call for artists for the Neighborhood Pride Program, he knew “that the subject matter was going to be Mexican—not necessarily about Mexican culture but about someone who was Mexican and contributed or was a prominent member of the Hollywood establishment in the past.” “That’s why I chose Dolores Del Río, de Batuc continues.

Gandhi Mural on Google Street View

Fantastic Gandhi portrait by @LeviPonce in Canoga Park, California

Follow Your Heart is my go to place whenever I’m in the west valley. I love it here. In addition to the healthy food you can enjoy in the cafe, there’s a hidden gem: local boy Levi Ponce created a beautiful mural in the back so be sure to go around outside and have a look! It’s a portrait of Gandhi, who once said “Where there is love there is life.”

IVRPA 2018 - Closing Dinner at the Miraikan

Kazuhiro Kageyama is one of the earliest panoramic photographers from Japan who shot with film back in the day. Held up for the camera is a large panoramic poster for a JR Fukushima advertising campaign from 2001, showing trains from all over the country.

In the late 90s my father went to Japan to work as an art director for Universal Studios Japan located in Osaka. He taped several photos together of the project as it came together into different stages of development with Scotch tape. He said he learned to do it from the Japanese team. Well, if you look down on the table in this picture, Kazuhiro has several panoramas taped together from the 90s with Scotch tape!

Mitchell Caverns in 360 Video

In this video, California state park ranger Andrew Fitzpatrick gives a tour of Mitchell Caverns, located in a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert east of Barstow. Mitchell Caverns are the only limestone caves in the California State Park system. After being closed for nearly seven years due to major infrastructure upgrades, Mitchell Caverns reopened in November 2017. LPT: Reservations are required so don’t just show up and expect to get a tour. They’re limited to Friday through Sunday, 2x’s each day with only 15 people each. Also, no tripods are permitted to protect these fragile formations so the Ricoh Theta was the perfect solution.

Experience Mitchell Caverns in 360! #mojave

Hidden in a remote stretch of the Mojave Desert east of Barstow, Mitchell Caverns are the only limestone caves in the California State Park system.

After being closed for nearly seven years due to major infrastructure upgrades, Mitchell Caverns reopened in November 2017. I went this past weekend and it was amazing! There were spectacular and intricate limestone formations including stalagmites, stalactites, helictites, lily pads, draperies, curtains and cave coral.

This weekend Goya’s Stage C will transform into a 360-degree micro-theater inspired by FX Network’s Legion. The theater will feature an artistic video installation and multi-sensory experiences that are meant to put viewers in the mind of the show’s protagonist, David Haller. The visual art will leave visitors questioning what is real and what is not as they are transported to a “mind-bending, reality-shifting world.”

The display was created by Marco Brambilla, a visual artist based in New York and Berlin who is known for his use of new technologies and found images.

“Our aim was to create an experience that would take the viewer through multiple levels of Haller’s altered states of schizophrenic consciousness,” the artist said, according to Awards Daily. “A flood of moments, thoughts, and memories are reflected into fragmented mirrored surfaces, these kaleidoscopic reflections completely surround us and we have the sense of assuming the characters’ psychological POV. I produced ‘Fracture’ with THE MILL, the world-renowned Visual Effects & Design Company with whom I’ve worked with many times before. Working together, we were able to achieve start-of-the-art production values for this immersive experience.”

The free exhibit will open at Goya Studios on March 30, 2018 and remain on view through April 1, 2018.
