- Inhalt:
- The images in this book, captured by the roving Google vehicle, depict solitary individuals in a variety of contemporary landscapes. Street View photography presents a different perspective on the individual's relation to his external world than the art of previous historical periods: artless and indifferent, without human intention, it ascribes no particular significance to any event or person. Bereft of context, history or meaning, the only glue holding the Street View images together is geospatial contiguity. The artist, in the act of framing the images, undoes familiar conventions and alters our vision of the world. Despite the often-impersonal nature of these settings, the subjects in these images resist becoming purely objects of the robotic gaze of an automated camera. For in the act of framing, the artist reasserts the importance of the individual. This altering of our vision challenges the loss of autonomy and in the transformation of our perceptions, a new possibility for freedom is created.
