"The View From Here" is a widescreen movie
installed on an architectural media wall system, an
array of eighteen video monitors configured to an
overall size of 20 feet wide by 8 feet high,
located inside the Oakland Airport.
The work functions as a time-based object, altering
the perception of the wall's existing screen grid
architecture by employing a long oval shape. It
presents an oblique view of the horizon, sky and
ocean's falling waves as they gently move across
the surface of the wall.
