Matt Logue creates a metropolis without traffic or people in 'Empty L.A.

June 28, 2010 - After getting back from assignment in New Zealand, special effects artist Matt Logue felt overwhelmed when he returned to the drudgery of Los Angeles traffic. So he decided to do something about it: erase the traffic. In a four-year project, Logue took pictures of both famous and unknown parts of LA and painstakingly removed every person and moving car. When he was done, he had an “Empty L.A.,” the title of the book he released last fall. Logue spoke with Daily Bruin Radio about the process. [5:08]

Bikers and non-bikers alike gather for Bike Night at the UCLA Hammer Museum

The biking culture in Los Angeles is relatively unknown to most Angelenos. But on April 8, the Hammer Museum celebrated all things bicycle at the second-annual Bike Night. Bike Night was coordinated by HSA, the Hammer Student Association. Not only did the event give recognition to the growing cycling community in Los Angeles, but it also served as a forum for bikers to come together and enjoy a night of music, art and food.
