Jon Rafman. C i n e m a s c a p e s. C i n e m a s c a p e s. A NEW AMERICAN PICTURE. A New American Picture depicts American street scenes, located using the internet platform Google Street View.
Over a four-year period, Rickard took advantage of Google’s massive image archive to virtually explore the roads of America looking for forgotten, economically devastated, and largely abandoned places. After locating and composing scenes of urban and rural decay, Rickard re-photographed the images on his computer screen with a tripod- mounted camera, freeing the image from its technological origins and re-presenting them on a new documentary plane.
The low-resolution images that Rickard favors have a dissolved, painterly effect, and are occasionally populated with figures who acknowledge the camera, but whose faces are blurred, masking their identity. The photographs are thus imbued with an added surrealism and anonymity, which reinforces the isolation of the subjects and emphasizes the effects of an increasingly stratified American social structure.

Basis to her work here are selected images from the gigantic GoogleStreetView archive in order to assemble her images. She then establishes a second image level through the analogue detail shots she has taken at the respective site. Binschtok’s first step is strictly analytical when she filters street views that show by-passers who look into the camera and who are actually aware of being photographed. But in contrast to traditional “picture-taking” there is no person taking the picture.
Those depicted look into a lense of an apparatus set on a car roof and that takes full-automatic panorama shots of its surroundings. Selection from the series of 28 pairs: LIMINAIRE. « Les choses de l’art commencent souvent au rebours des choses de la vie ».

RANDOM STREET VIEW - Stéphane Degoutin, Gwenola Wagon. Las Meninas. Las Meninas (2013) 24 in. x 28 in. archival pigment prints, edition of 332-page newsprint publication, edition of 50 [Purchase] Google now includes indoor scenes within its street view photography.
Most of the images are created by independent photographers who are hired by local businesses. The business licenses the images to Google, where they are stitched together for the street view database. Las Meninas is a series of 17 photographs depicting the photographer and/or camera’s reflection visible in mirror or glass. All of the photographs are taken using Google Street View (interior views). The relationship between image-maker, viewer, frame and apparatus is ambiguous, and played out differently from scene to scene. In Las Meninas the re-framed mirror presents a utopian ideal (the perfect view(er) of commerce) as well as heterotopian uncanniness (the displaced, disembodied, powerless view(er)), recalling Velázquez’s Las Meninas (1656).

One channel video projection; Duration: 05m 00s; Colors. No audio. The series of 100 digital photos called Report a Problem is the first part of the project, THE GOOGLE TRILOGY, about the relationship between humans, power, and technological errors. “Report a Problem” is the message that appears at the bottom of the Google Street View screen, which allows viewers to report a problem during the viewing of the place they are virtually visiting: missing censorship, wrong colors, random appearances.
