Paolo Cirio

 

Life-sized pictures of people found on Google maps street view were printed and posted without authorization at the same spot where they were taken.

The posters are printed in colour on thin paper, cut along the outline, and then affixed with wheat paste on the walls of public buildings at the precise spot on the wall where they appear in Google’s Street View image. Street Ghosts reveals the aesthetic, bio political, tactical and legal issues, which can be explored through the artist’s statement and theoretical considerations. The artwork becomes a performance, re-contextualizing not only ready-made informational material, but also a conflict. Ghostly human bodies appear as casualties of the info-war in the city, a transitory record of collateral damage from the battle between corporations, governments, civilians and algorithms.
