# john gerrard: *SPIRITS*

Dec 21, 2025 – Dec 20, 2026 · on view

A year-long online artwork of 96 discarded beach sandals and shoes, photoscanned into live-rendered 3D forms for mobile browsers.

gerrard gathered 96 plastic sandals and shoes from beaches around the world and photoscanned them into gaussian splats, which stream and shift in real time rather than playing as video. Viewers can drag the objects and overlay them with oil slicks or ocean currents.

The work appears on LACMA’s homepage during four 24-hour events tied to the solstices and equinoxes, each linked to a different body of water, with one shoe surfacing per hour. It is presented by the museum’s Art + Technology Lab.
