ArtMetroPolis is a series Virtual Reality (VR) videos that feature Los Angeles artists and their public projects for LA Metro stations. Each artist introduces us to his or her unique Metro project and leads us on a virtual tour of the city via light rail. ArtMetroPolis offers new and unusual perspectives of LA’s urban landscapes throughout the city, many of which often go unnoticed.
