Last time, on it’s finally time you knew something, the public art installation / physical infographic of sorts entitled Fifty-Five Square Miles had just been put on display for Art on the Atlanta BeltLine. Now, a year later, here’s a closer look at the project as it was altered, improved, and claimed by the elements (including spiders building webs in interstates and squirrels hiding walnuts in skyscrapers).
Downtown.
Buckhead by road, hiking trail, or rail.
Carter Center, Little Five Points, King Center & Historic District, Oakland Cemetery, and the obligatory “You Are Here.”
East Atlanta Village.
Georgia Dome, CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park.
Zoo Atlanta, with Turner Field in the upper foreground and the Cyclorama in the background (Confederate & Union flags, but the Stars & Bars a bit obscured).
Atlantic Station, Georgia Tech.
Woodruff Arts Center, Midtown.
A visitor and her brood.
Squirrels making a cache out of the Peachtree Plaza.
As to why I’ve decided to add this entry after abandoning the blogosphere for just over a year, my infographic on Atlanta’s skyscrapers has mysteriously reasserted itself back into the annals of reddit & facebook lately, so I’ll take this case of the artificially intelligent jpeg as a signal that I may as well reassert more infotainment back here. Now, I can’t promise a new graphic to greet you every morning as a part of a balanced breakfast, or even for that matter assure you I’ll have produced something every week or two, but if I can overcome some logistical hurdles (absolving myself of the no-longer-novel concept of using MS Paint, acquiring and mastering Illustrator; those are really all the hurdles), I’d like to increase the frequency by a THOUSANDFOLD at least. Maybe tenfold.
