How to Use Our Website
The maproom has two maps: the main map and the choropleth map. The main map
is meant to be used to explore art pieces in the Los Angeles county. To display
more information about the art, hover over and click on any pin on the map and it
will appear on the side panel. Clicking the 'Current Street View' button opens a new
window that shows the current Google Street View of the art. If you want an random
art recommended, press the 'Surprise Me' button on the upper left side of the map and
the information about the art will appear on the right panel. The checkbox on the upper
right shows different ways to filter the locations: the red points correspond to art pieces
created before 2000, the blue points correspond to art created after 2000, and checking
'Cluster' will show a clustered map.
The choropleth shows more data about the public art pieces as it displays the number
of public art pieces per neighborhood in the LA county, along with an interactive bar chart to
show the progression of art over time for each neighborhood. Hover over any neighborhood and the
corresponding bar chart will appear on the right panel.
The #Gallery page offers an aggregated view of the public art pieces. Search any neighbhorhood in the
Los Angeles county and it will filter the data to only include the pieces from there. Hover over
the photos to get more information about a piece and click on it to see its location on the
main map page.
