Description
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art Allora and Calzadilla's video work entitled "Signs Facing the Sky" intervenes on the urban topography that stretches beneath an airplane's wings seconds before it lands at San Diego International Airport. The video work incorporates phrases collected by the artists during informal interviews with people who live or work in buildings along the flight path to create an image of the inner-city landscape in which voices of the city's residents intersect and overlap. --inSite_05 Born digital Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This video file was extracted from a DVD-R from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 257, DVD 05-28) [Title, Date].
