Dolores Park, just the people

The artist Jenny Odell explains:

[R]ather than hanging out in the actual, physical Dolores Park, I’ve been spending hours cutting out every single person in the very crowded Google Earth view of Dolores Park.

I guess we’re a little late to this as it showed as part of a group show at Intersection for the Arts in October. But better late than never. Read on for more explanation and a look at all the people on Pier 39.

UPDATE: The show is up through mid-January!

  1. I request a version with just the dogs. (Might as well do Bernal while you’re at it.)

    And Noe with just the strollers!

  2. In all seriousness — mount a camera on a kite or balloon. Take one picture at 7AM and another and peak hipster density, and subtract out the difference.

    A Dolores Park time lapse from above would also be rather awesome.

    Would love to see the artist give me money every week until my student loans are paid off. Can do a time lapse sequence of my loan principle amounts.

  4. You’re not too late for the opening of a show at Mission Pie that includes a painting of Dolores Park made using drawings from random people in the park… http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2011/12/city_of_awesome_incorporates_s.php
