THE GOOGLE TRILOGY – 1.Report a Problem, 2012. 100 photographs. Sublimation print on aluminum. Variable dimensions. Overall installation: X: 216cm Y: 1224cm. Edition of 1.
The series of 100 images entitled Report a Problem is the first part of a project about the relationship between humans, power, and technological errors. “Report a Problem” is the message that appears at the bottom of the Google Street View screen, which allows viewers to report a problem during the viewing of the place they are virtually visiting: missing censorship, wrong colors, random appearances. I traveled on Google Street View photographing all the “wrong landscapes” I encountered before others could report the problems and prompt the company to adjust the images. Common landscapes are transformed by Google’s unexpected technical errors into something new.
