Montreal-based artist Jon Rafman has a unique way of capturing images; he combs through the Google Street View archives to find the oddest and scariest (and thus most amazing) sights for his on-going project The Nine Eyes of Google Street View.
A press release on his website states that he “Explores the paradoxes of modernity by mixing irony, humour, and melancholy… his work is informed by the rick potential provided by contemporary technology in its possibility for celebrating and critiquing contemporary experience.”
There are no captions on the images, so viewers are left to make their own assumptions about what is going on. Some of the most unusual images include a tiger roaming outside a strip mall and a man running across the desert in an organge jumpsuit. [PSFK]
