The video below is an example of the kind of work done in Land Arts of the American West at the University of New Mexico. It is a collaboration led by Catherine Harris, professor of Art and Ecology in the Department of Art and Art History at UNM. Harris demonstrated measuring space through comparative body/landscape studies such as stride patterning, using the lower leg as a transit level, and line of sight spatial marking. Harris worked with Land Arts students to develop the project, Transect Collaborative, which involved walking a transect line across Lobo Canyon, documenting it via drawings, photographs, and video, then developing a gallery installation.
