Hundreds of cars, each fitted with fifteen cameras, scan our world to make our seamless Google Street View user experience possible. Naturally, this does not come without accidents, glitches or unexpected animal encounters. And while this short and entertaining film explores the most remote corners of the internet, a voiceover reflects on what all this might reveal about us as users. Will the algorithm soon be providing us with our most important food for thought. Jan Sebening
We are showing this film together with READY TO DIE, SO IST DAS LEBEN UND NICHT ANDERS and THOUGHT OF OUR ANCESTORS in the short film reel DOK.fest SHORTS.
