You have to approach the thing with an indifference, as if you had no aesthetic emotion. – Marcel Duchamp
Marcel Duchamp’s invention of the readymade changed the course of twentieth century art.

Vancouver artist, Sylvia Grace Borda, in partnership with Nelson area residents have worked together to create the first staged net artworks in the Columbia Basin area to reside inside Google Street View. The artist invited participants to be caught in a staged kiss for the camera that are then incorporated into the Street View image stream. Continue reading The Kissing Project
In a recent post, I drew a distinction between two groups of artists that use Google Street View as part of their creative work:
