“Scenes pulled at random from Google Street View provide a graphic accompaniment to a live sonic improvisation, broadcast as a virtual AV concert.
Street View images can be understood as preset photographic data stored in a vast structure, retrievable by the geo location tag of the image. Yet as photography, they are crude representations of time and place created with no artistry or expression. For those currently in isolation or lockdown, they are suddenly imbued with a new sense of significance beyond that of being useful for navigation.
A process of spontaneous sound, text and graphical generation using realtime code, begins with the random retrieval and manipulation of street view images.
The co-ordinates for the source images are selected at random from a range of pre-defined latitudes and longitudes which define an area on Earth. In previous performances, this area was predetermined by the composer based on the actual location of concert.” - Cristian Vogel 2020
