Ok, what’s eerie isn’t that robots do this; I think it’s COOL because PEOPLE make robots, robots that do this. What’s creepy is that someone cares enough to track folks like that.

I was very aware of photographic history when working on this project. I really believe that photography was the medium of the twentieth century, because of the ambiguity surrounding the question of whether it was or was not art, due to photography’s mechanical nature. I saw GSV in some way as the ultimate conclusion of the medium of photography: the world being constantly photographed from every perspective all the time. As if photography had become an indifferent, neutral god observing the world.
