Abstract:
|
With the advent of Google Street View the ability to travel and explore foreign and familiar
landscapes has become more accessible. Google Street View has provided a vast database of
images allowing for a new way to interact with the landscape. Artists are now able to explore and
exploit Google Street View’s depictions of an urbanized, digital landscape. By looking at
significant points in photographic landscape history we can chart a path forward exploring new
ways to experience the land. By employing Roland Barthes‘ theory of punctum, LF Home
provides a different interpretation of the sublime; a personal sublime when confronted by a
familiar landscape. The exhibition LF Home, through the photographic image and text, explores
our relationship with the virtual landscape based on personal experience, memory, and an
individualistic sublime.
