Clement Valla: “Google Earth has developed an extended network of automated cameras, operators, satellites, aerial photographers, programmers, and terrain and map information to assemble an ever more convincing representation of the planet. This mostly automated system sometimes produces unexpected and wonderful artifacts. The bridges in these postcards are glitches that occur when the 2d satellite imagery and 3d terrain don’t line up quite right, or structures such as bridges are projected down onto the terrain below, creating fabulous and unintentional distortions.”

This is one of my good buddies Clement Valla’s work — he’s a professor up at RISD and his work often deals with the intersection of technology and art. Check more of his work out on his site!
