All images for these collages are screen shots of locations that I have not yet been to -captured exclusively from Google Maps. The internet is an immediate way to transcend your location and experiences, but it exposes the limitations of being human. After “traveling” to these locations through Google, exploring the streets, grabbing images, and expressing both my “travel” experience and preconceived assumptions of that place through the collage, I am left with something that says little more about the location than a postcard would. Google’s Street View captures everything stuck in a series of moments. It is a very surface level examination of a location, much like a postcard. Google is a very appropriate stand-in for the internet, technology, and the wealth of information they provide. While everything seems to be at your fingertips, you can’t really touch it or keep it. The more information we have, the less we seem to know. Even with all of the shared knowledge and images, can someone really say something relevant about a place they have never been? These collages seem to say so little about their location and so much more about me, the person, artist and human brain creating them.
