THE CHASE (GOOGLE STREET VIEW SALUTE)

 

Digital video, color, stereo, 1' 38", 2018

 

A new installment of Google Street View Salute (ongoing project) that began in 2015, related to the more recent Google Street View Racing.

In October 2017, I was chasing a Google Street View car through the streets of Nizza Monferrato, near Asti, Italy with a middle finger raised. 

The result is a moving self-portrait, a multitasking exercise (driving and flipping the bird), a futile act of resistance against Google's scopic insolence.
