A new approach to photography is seeing the light - photographers without cameras. The need to press the shutter is replaced by a direct interest in images - not necessarily in making images.

Quote from Jury Report of the Kleine Hans for Mishka Henner.

Wie een beetje veilig stiekem wil fotograferen kan zijn hart ophalen bij Street View, de systematisch vastgelegde, complete fotografische afbeelding van onze westerse wereld door Google. Van achter mijn laptop scharrel ik rustig door de automatisch digitaal aan elkaar genaaide versie van de werkelijkheid. Je moet er wel geduld voor hebben, want ‘s werelds grootste foto is in zijn ongeselecteerde weergave overwegend saai. Maar wie de kunst van het kijken verstaat kan er juweeltjes aantreffen, daarin is de digitale wereld niet anders dan zijn reële evenknie.

Online straatfotografen zoals Jon Rafman, Diederick Overbeke en Michael Wolf struinen wel allemaal in dezelfde versie van de werkelijkheid. Zodoende kom je bij verschillende virtuele straatschuimers dezelfde situaties tegen, zij het soms in een net iets andere uitsnede.

On rephotographing Shore via Google Street View:
“No one would ever mistake the photos of Google Street View for Shore. They show the same locations but that’s about it. Where Streetview gets interesting is in the interactive mode. You can program an address, bring it up on the screen, then walk up and down the street or turn in a circle to see various perspectives. For the Shore photos, this is a bit like being in his head. Why did he choose to photograph certain corners? Why did he aim the camera one way instead of another? “ — On rephotographing Shore via Google Street View:

Mishka Henner “When Google introduced its free satellite imagery service to the world in 2005, views of our planet only previously accessible to astronauts and surveyors were suddenly available to anyone with an internet connection. Yet the vistas revealed by this technology were not universally embraced.”

› Jon Rafman talks about his project 9 Eyes of Google Street View.

Jon Rafman “There’s no name for it yet. A lot of arts these days are hard to label. The concept is the essence of everything and not so much in what you name it. It’s about formalism. Often the half is the art and the other half is the text needed to explain the art. I like art that explains itself, where there’s no text necessary. I use a lot of mediums, but I don’t think of Internet as a medium. Internet is a space that has everything. For me Internet is what Paris was to Hemmingway or New York for Newman. Today there is not one city that’s the centre of art, I mean Berlin is pretty cool but it doesn’t stop there, today Internet is the centre of culture.”
