Anytown, USA?

Several months ago, David Byrne blogged about Anytown, USA, “a fake ‘town’ in California where cops practice shoot-‘em-ups.”

I saw a lecture by a Candaian curator many years ago in which he showed work by a young artist making photos of a similar place, but for the life of me, I can’t find any more information on Anytown. Any expert Googlers out there?

Watch out, because as DB points out: “if you lived here, this could be you — two of the targets:”

  1. Sure. The Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) published a great article with photos of additional Simulated Landscapes here:

  2. Mark—thanks mucho. I tired a CLUI search, but not well enough, I suppose. Thanks for pulling this up for everyone. The CLUI is so astounding…
