The Jazzland Project
For the past 12 years Jason has documented one of the most iconic abandoned urban exploration locations in the world, Six Flags New Orleans- Jazzland that was destroyed by hurricane Katrina nearly 20 years ago.
At first Jason shot the location unofficially as an urban explorer, but since early 2023, Jason has been the sole photographer to document the park in an official capacity as the city looks to transform the site into a flourishing movie studio and more.

How imagery is Changing Our World- Ted Talk by Jason Lanier
We live in a time where the majority of people have access to drones, smart phones, action cameras and more to capture content. And with Youtube, Tiktok, instagram and Facebook, everytone on the planet has the power to publish and distribute their version of events through pictures, videos and written words. So how do we discern the truth from lies? Will we harness this incredible power to be able to shape the world to be a better more unified place? Or will we use this power to sow divide, fabricate the truth and create even more chaos? Jason discusses his pursuit of using his position as a photographer and film maker to try and show people what's taking place on this planet. He challenges you to look at what's really happening vs. the set of beliefs that you want to be true, even if they aren't.
