John Gerrard Launches SPIRITS Part Two at LACMA

Artist John Gerrard has released the second installment of his SPIRITS series at LACMA, continuing his 25-year practice of creating digital simulations that examine our world through the lens of entertainment, industry, and warfare software. **Building on Previous Work** SPIRITS follows Gerrard's earlier Art Blocks series: - *Petrol National* (2022) - *World Flag* (2023) These works use spatial and solar data to create WebGL environments where dawn and dusk occur accurately for specific locales throughout the year. **Thematic Focus** The series explores nations' oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, a subject central to Gerrard's artistic practice since its inception. Through programmable, on-chain generative content, each piece offers a unique commentary on environmental impact and resource use.
