Jeremy Quinn

I never really stopped prying into things, but my field of view has expanded dramatically. I am always looking, watching, testing – hoping to catch a glimpse of the underlying order of things, or insight into how it all comes together. I am an urban naturalist now, armed with the digital tools of media production, architectural design, and urban analysis, and working in and around my home in Los Angeles.

These investigations lead to work in many different media, including drawing photography and video, performance and music, as well as speculative and built architectural projects.

The definitive view of Los Angeles is the approach from the east to LAX on a clear, still night. Tall, rugged mountains give way to the first glowing threads of the street grid. The grid densifies, then multiplies, and extends to the horizon. You inch slowly above a glowing net set to catch you, marking off distance in 150 foot increments.

Above this glittering, living landscape, the jet glides inexorably downwards, seeking the coast. There is almost no perceptible motion, just a feeling of sinking. The grid marches on, coming up to meet you with maddening slowness, unbelievably filling the landscape from horizon to horizon. There is no end to the grid, it is only interrupted by the mountains and the sea.

The entire city of Los Angeles passes beneath you, in quiet beauty, beyond thick glass, sealed off from the air-conditioned hum of the cabin.

You meet the ground where the land meets the sea and step out into the warm, glowing night.
