ABOUT PROJECT

HTTP://OFPLACE.INFO/ is the result of an extensive surveillance collection of Google Maps satellite images. With choices dictated by randomization, pre-established rules, curiosity, and intuition, ://OFPLACE. archives 600 images of 20 different cities. ://OFPLACE. simultaneously compares and contrasts both basic and strange infrastructural features of various cities while it also allows the user to explore cities around the world in a way that’s dictated by intuition rather than preconceived notions tied to a specific location.

Upon exploring this for ten rounds, you will have the chance to review your digital journey and receive a generated printable or digital asset
(coming soon).
