Take a look at this article about artist Jenny Odell’s work, Satellite Collections. She manually scans Google maps, collecting different types of man-made objects and arranging them together to form a beautiful piece of art.
According to Odell, “they’re things we often overlook or take for granted as part of our environment; but somehow, from a satellite point of view, they reveal themselves to be (somewhat) ubiquitous signs of human civilization, popping up in certain places while the surrounding area may simply be desert or mountains. From this perspective there’s something very fragile and nostalgic about them.”
What an imaginitive way to combine nature, humanity, and the omnipresent technological age.
