(source)Lack of privacy never looked so good!
For this week's Wednesday Work we bring you Jon Rafman. An artist out of Montreal, Canada, Rafman uses Google Street View as his image-capturing device (his camera). A concept which begs the question: what is a photographer? What is a photograph? As photographers, are we artists, or are were curators - editing a collection of images made by the world itself? (Or in this case Google Street View.) I've seen a lot done with Google Image Search, and conversation about the future of photography and the integrity of the photographic image in light of the internet and digital photography, abounds - but I've never seen it like this!
We truly do live in a terrifically horrifying and beautiful world.
