		NOTES

		Drifting reminds me of sitting in the car as a kid, closing my eyes, and guessing where we were. 

		Is this still an authentic experience? Or this a method of oppression? I can't experience the smell, the atmosphere, the climate. I can't feel the emotion of the places I go.

		Why do we want to capture this? What crosses the line? Faces are blurred, but graves aren't.

			Open Acess

			If images can be shared and circulated, why can’t everything else be too? If data moves across screens, so can its material incarnations move across shop windows and other enclosures. If copyright can be dodged and called into question, why can’t private property? If one can share a restaurant dish JPEG on Facebook, why not the real meal? Why not apply fair use to space, parks, and swimming pools? Why only claim open access to JSTOR and not MIT—or any school, hospital, or university for that matter? Why shouldn’t data clouds discharge as storming supermarkets? Why not open-source water, energy, and Dom Pérignon champagne?

Here we can see Greenland, and what I assume is the best image(ry) possible within the satellite's capability. It reveals the analytic technical approach of the 'machine'. I like that it shows some type of weakness, limit, and failure .. just like us humans do.

This woman's face is blurred, due to privacy rules. But, pun intended, the Google system has decided that her derriere has to be blurred as well, due to ... ?

I want to explore the rules and the reasoning behind them. Did Google blur this ladies bum for her, or for themselves? Did the technology recognize her bodyparts and was this intended or is this a glitch?

These are graves, you can't actually visit them, but you can drive by and see the pictures people took while visiting. I'm intrigued by the idea that this isn't possible. Why are you allowed to visit houses, streets, shops, churches all around the world but not these graves? Again, what's the limit, and why? And is this based on ethics or laws?
