UGLARworks’ L.A. Stories Project: The Introduction

10:15 AM PDT on April 23, 2013

UGLARworks' L.A. Stories Project is a mural series that tells true stories of life in Los Angeles. It's a collaborative storytelling endeavor done in partnership with city residents: one that combines the power of people, art, technology, and the city. The premise is simple: citizens send us their stories, and we put them on walls as fusions of art and code. Each stands not simply as public art, but also as a digital literature installation made possible by QR codes.

Ragusano is disappointed that the L.A. Times didn’t publicly disclose that there was an outbreak at their event. “Obviously they’re not going to print it in their paper,” Ragusano said. “But they‘re a newspaper and newspapers are supposed to share the news. This is how people usually find out about something like this,” she added. “It's ironic because it happened to them.”
