# Mirrored Cityscape Installations The 2016 Land Art Generator Builds a Reflective Santa Monica Wall By M | Published 2016-09-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-generator References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/santa-monica-wall-proposal-land-art-generator-initiative-09-14-2016/) & [landartgenerator.org](http://landartgenerator.org/) The Land Art Generator Initiative is a project that occurs annually and aims to bring an element of creativity to different metropolises, and for the 2016 year the team has put together the 'Santa Monica Wall.' The project is essentially a massive series of mirrored panels that surround the city and creative a narrative for viewers through the reflection. The installation is made with a series of panels that are covered in mirrors that encircle the city's wildlife and natural surroundings of the beach and water. The installation creates a dialogue between viewers and the reflection that raises awareness about issues of drought and environmental awareness in a city that is suffering from the lack of rainfall to the area. The mirrored reflection becomes one with the actual setting, creating an endless loop of natural surroundings.
