Google Earth video walkthrough
In “A Stream of Data Scrapes the Earth and Casts Me Through” artist Amanda Hodes takes us on a meditative walk through the locales of every person she spoke with during the COVID-19 pandemic. While doing this, Hodes meditates on questions of embodiment pace and connection and attempts a connection through the corporate medium that is Google Earth; a recreation of the real world but sanitized and tethering at the verge of surveillance.
