If God has a specific appearance, then He must be like Google Street View. Because people are doing, Google Street View is watching.

The white and green convoys crossing the streets are God’s eyeliners. The low-key color scheme has given it the authority to inadvertently take pictures of the world.

Even in the corner of the car where you ca n’t reach it, you ca n’t escape it. If you have n’t seen Google tricycles and street view cameras, you ca n’t imagine how comprehensive this company is.

There are almost no dead angles in the horizontal 360 ° and vertical 180 °. All the strange and cruel things happening on the street are recorded by these nine eyes.

During my trip to Xi’an, my buddy said that peeing at the root of the city wall is the only way to cut into local life. The handsome pictures of these two gentlemen make me choose to bear it again whenever I can’t find the toilet.

I thought “born on the street” was just a misrepresentation of rappers, to show that I had never been tarnished by capital. After all, I still didn’t know how hard the street was.

The bird people in Japan scared me almost, but I looked at the coordinates of the art school next to me. I was relieved. After all, with contemporary art, any bird man ’s bird works are better than worldly. romantic.

There are always a few young men who play extreme sports trying to show off their skills in front of the camera. I did not expect that the biggest exposure opportunity in this life was the uncontrollable power of childhood.

If you are tired, you have to rest. Whether you are a superman or an alien, you must follow the rules of the rest of the earth when you come to earth.

These one-take passes, uncensored into films that are coded only on faces and license plates, sometimes permeate the sad background of highway films, and sometimes exude the bitterness of the father and son in the ethical film.

Of course, the eroticism in love action movies is also indispensable.

Someone appreciates the customs and customs of the distant place, and others notice the ruthlessness of the partner. A Peruvian man found himself green when planning a trip on Google Maps, and his strong physique and familiar clothing were conclusive evidence.

It can even help the police catch fugitives. Whether it’s a gang shootout fighting a street fire or a robbery at a roadside convenience store, Google Street View can always provide the police with directions for investigation.

Pushing the middle finger, throwing something, or showing your hips can be understood as a protest against the “Big Brother is Watching You” phenomenon, or it may just be a meaningless prank.

In the face of artificial intelligence without emotion, religion has lost its concept. Both portraits and Buddha statues are just human faces that need to be mosaic.

The two streetscape screenshots of the “Mosaic Idol” above are actually derived from the artistic project of artist Marion Balac-Anonymous Gods (Anonymous God) .

Balac believes that the application of this authoritarian tool in religion provides us with an interesting perspective so that we can really see the point of view of robots.

“In front of the machine, all faces are equal regardless of their size, making the line between sacred and blasphemy blurred between humans and their beliefs.”

In addition, Google Street View has spawned many other art projects, such as the British Halley Docherty has used Google Street View to reproduce the cover of those classic records.

Includes “The Freewheelin ‘Bob Dylan” by Bob Dylan;

Abbey Road by The Beatles;

“Paul’s Boutique” by Beastie Boys;

Morning Glory by Oasis …

Artist Jason Isolini from Brooklyn used Google Street View as a 360-degree drawing board, implanted surreal collage elements into real street views, and produced a large number of immersive mashups.

Mill Avenue and Washington StreetIt was the location of a car accident in 2018. Elaine Herzberg, 49, was killed by a self-driving car developed by Uber.

Isolini placed a crumpled plastic bag printed with “THANK YOU” in the street view at this location, a clap emoji, and a large pot of corn.

These everyday things are his remembrance of Herzberg , an experimental work of art, hidden in the world’s largest mapping system.

“Google Street View is a ‘sterilized’ map system that only shows the moment when the camera cart passes, but it does not reflect the past human beings and the history that needs to be remembered. “

There is no doubt that technology has changed a part of our lives. As an equivalent exchange, it has also deprived a part of our lives. It is fair.

Google Street View allows people and objects around the world to deform and stretch with your mouse and fingertips, making it possible to travel around the world without leaving the house, and giving everyone a chance to become a real world player. .
