“By bringing art out of the gallery and into a neighborhood as far from artsy enclaves like Venice or Silverlake as you can get, Page brought out a groundswell of community connection, with everyone dropping their façades and mingling, feeling engaged with the life around them.

“On Thursday, as dusk fell, the streets of Balboa Highlands glowed eerily with Page’s projections. “The projections are spaced throughout the neighborhood, activating a few houses, and implicating any of the tracts’ other 90+ homes as a possible projection sites, imagining the lives within,” explained the website for the Machine Project, which produced the installation as part of Getty’s Pacific Standard Time initiative.”
