In addition to Christian Brom’s post about joiners:
I feel that David Hockney has always been at the edge of what painting and image making could be (I’m personally a big fan of his Bigger Grand Canyon) and the fact that he’s now largely painting on an iPad I feel is, while safe in it’s execution, somewhat risky within the scope of being a painter. Looking at Joiners I was reminded of an animation I saw last semester, namely Faux Plafond – Cosmic Promenade by Francois Vogel:

At one level the aesthetic of it is similar to Joiners, but at another I feel the notion of the image spliced together with others to produce a greater whole connects them as well. It’s also an example of a piece where the “360 camera” is used, but also a necessary component of narrative which in my opinion not many work using 360 cameras are.
