For the following five images, I was unable to capture what I would qualify as adequate both in sound, image, and space. So, I am sharing ones that I have found online with the corresponding source beneath. Perhaps, because of, or in spite of this challenge of reproducibility, this work embodies what I considered most essential about the works for Made in L.A. 2016: the experiential, phenomenological as aspect of a moment.  This is also what I think a biennial such as this one is attempting to frame, however possible or loosely, and what notions of "contemporary" are trying to access/apprehend in such a context (a biennial of artist who may or may not be from around here). Certainly, pulse/rhythm and pattern are close to the point for all the works I include in my survey of Made in L.A. 2016.
