ABOUT La Noria Lauren Bon has said that La Noria is a magical device. She knew it when she thought it could elevate you from an everyday discussion of something to a transcendent appreciation of it. "The motivation for the work I do in Metabolic Studio is to catalyze paradigm shifts using fantastic devices. So people can talk for a long time about the L.A. River master plan, but in coming up with a fantastic device like a waterwheel, a dam, and a new distribution system, I've been able to catalyze the change that needs to happen"https://boomcalifornia.org/2015/08/04/the-boom-interview-lauren-bon/ the comment of Not A Cornfield Lauren Bon has commented on her particularly famous work Not A Cornfield. She says:It's not earth art per se. A lot of times Not A Cornfield is seen as earth art because it's on land. That's not to say it's not earth art, but there are a lot of things about it that are not usually associated with earth art. One of those things is transformation. Because we won't always have a cornfield there, it is both a cornfield and not a cornfield. It's a way of creating the possibility of something else happening there, because the site has stagnated in its formation, and the purpose of the cornfield is to galvanize it into that possibility again.
