Artist Jon Rafman created this compelling collection of images from Google Map's massive Street View project to photograph the world's highways and streets. Scroll through the fascinating photos or click the 9-camera image on top to read Rafman's essay about the project.
The artist explains: "Google sent out an army of hybrid electric automobiles, each one bearing nine cameras on a single pole. Armed with a GPS and three laser range scanners, this fleet of cars began an endless quest to photograph every highway and byway in the free world. Every ten to twenty meters, the nine cameras automatically capture whatever moves through their frame. Computer software stitches the photos together to create panoramic images. To prevent identification of individuals and vehicles, faces and license plates are blurred."
