Mining the Internet with Jenny Odell
Listen now
Description
In this episode of Art School, we hang out with Odell in her apartment in San Francisco’s Mission District and get a glimpse of her process of gathering images and crafting them into grids and other forms. Ask Bay Area native Jenny Odell to describe her artistic practice and she just might tell you her work is more akin to a scientist or archivist. Typically her work involves scouring the internet for images on Google Maps, YouTube, Yelp or Craigslist, then making large composites from the photographs and video she collects.
