The artist Jenny Odell creates art works out of Google Earth ©. Baseball fields, swimming pools and parking areas are some of her themes. She deals with details of our every-day environment which she cuts out of a satellite view and pastes them in new masterpieces. Jenny Odell looks the world throughout the satellite and makes a connection between the virtual reality and the real life.
She names her works “The Satellite Collection”: It’s a kind of “a top down view” in which she pieces together terrestrial images like a mosaic to express feelings like vulnerability, nostalgia and smallness. In this way, a modern web technology gets a new aesthetic and becomes art.
