Peter Jellitsch is a Vienna-based artist who, during his residency, investigated both the physical environment of Los Angeles, and parts of the invisible datascape that forms the city’s digital atmosphere, particularly wireless networks. Noting that technological progress can estrange people from their surroundings, Jellitsch considered how that may register on an architectural scale. In his work Data Drawings, the artist used his unit in the Mackey Apartments as a testing site for a drawing series based on the immediate and L.A.-wide network connectivity for his location. Produced in pencil and acrylic, the elegant drawings resemble a mash-up of technical charts, abstract patterns, and beautiful naturalistic forms.
