Google Street View sees all
S. Avalon Park Blvd. Union Park, Florida
The way Google Street View records physical space restored the appropriate balance between photographer and subject. It allowed photography to accomplish what culture critic and film theorist Siegfried Kracauer viewed as its mission: “to represent significant aspects of physical reality without trying to overwhelm that reality so that the raw material focused upon is both left intact and made transparent.”
Great essay about Google Street View by Jon Rafman over on Art Fag City.
