Whether traveling across parts of Asia, Europe, or the Middle East, over the years I’ve relied upon Google Lens to help me translate a myriad of signage, menus, and price tags. Now I’ll have the option to explore my own hometown’s landscape of art and design, using Google Lens and augmented by the vast catalog of art discovery platform, Wescover to learn more about art and artists across Los Angeles.

Currently hosting a digital art archive of more than 50,000 images of unique products across the globe, Wescover’s inaugural launch with Google Lens began with a map in San Francisco, plotting numerous info-augmenting pieces of art within institutions like MOMA?s In Situ restaurant and more casual spots across the city, like the interior of Craftsman and Wolves coffee shop.
The digital art discovery platform has recently expanded to a much larger city ? the City of Angels ? helping Los Angeles Google Lens residents and visitors alike discover the stories behind favorite pieces of physical art and design objects. Using Google Lens unlocks an extra layer of information about both art and artist that otherwise might go unknown and unappreciated.
Public art enhanced by Wescover and Google Lens in Los Angeles now includes Leta Sobierajski’s mural at The Row, Jessalyn Brooks painting in Bar Caló, Gratitude mural by Ruben Rojas, and artwork in LA?s Ace Hotel.
