Jon Rafman : nine eyes

Rafman, Jon 1981- (photographer.). Steinmann, Kate, (editor.).

Summary: "Nine Eyes" documents screen captures taken from Google Street View. In 2007 Google began adding street views to its maps, photographs taken by a worldwide fleet of hybrid electric automobiles, each one bearing a nine-lensed camera mounted on a rooftop pole. This clothbound volume includes images from "The Nine Eyes of Google Street View," an ongoing project by artist, filmmaker and essayist Jon Rafman (born 1981), whose work explores the impact of technology on consciousness.-- provided by Amazon.com.
