Turning Google Street View Into Art

I'm fascinated with Google Street View, how you can travel the world without leaving your computer seat, so I was pleased to find 'The Nine Eyes of Google Street View, a project by Canadian artist, Jon Rafman who has turned the captures of Google Street View into a form of art. He has selected captures from Street View that range from beautiful landscapes to documentary photographs that make a social statement. Many of the images appear to have a carefully crafted composition, looking as if they were taken by a professional photographer. These stunning images, captured by a machine, challenge the concept of art and the artist.
