昨天,我去了萨奇画廊看Korean Eye(韩国之眼)以及最为仁慈的评论,我之所以想推荐这个秀展是因为其几个不错的瞬间。然而,位于首层的展览,The Nine Eyes of Google Street View(九眼谷歌街景)值得踏上一次国王之路。
这九眼是安装在每个车辆顶部杆子上的摄像头,是谷歌5年以来,在世界各地派遣的车辆。谷歌街景技术将各种瞬间闪耀,深深的humiliation(羞辱)、新闻摄影界的interest(利益)、privacy concerns(隐私的顾虑)以及艺术reactions(感应)。
Jon Rafman是最先花上数小时看着车辆搜集的图片并寻找不单单是好玩、荒谬或意外事件,同时也为了完美瞬间制作明星片的艺术家之一。他是否有发现惊艳图片的眼光……
艺术家写道:凭借其所谓的中立眼光,街景照片有一种未受敏感性或因人类摄影师设定而被破坏的自然特质……捕捉剥离所有文化意向的现实碎片。

英国卫报有着最好的slideshow(幻灯片),独立日报有最为详实的Rafman采访。
