In 1974, Lewis Baltz's seminal work, "The New Industrial Parks Near Irvine, California¿, explored a common American theme (the promised land defiled) in an uncommon place. For Baltz, industrial parks were a new phenomenon which would "cause severe dislocations in the local economy¿. He was interested in "the effect of this kind of urbanism ... Was it a world people could live in? Really?¿The Australian landscape rarely elicits such blatant anger. Our notion of landscape seems very different. Baltz documented the short term impact of money on place, while Lane's project explores the mildly subversive impact of people after the event (more erosion than explosion), transforming Baltz's stark Californian minimalism into an ethereal antipodean nocturne.
