Here’s a nice thing I saw at the New Museum – Nuremberg. It is related to photography and not.
Daniela Comani (b. 1965, Italy) “flew” between 2015 and 2019 through virtual city views (using Apple Maps and Google Earth - apps that allow you to virtually “fly” over cities and buildings in 3D) and made her own “pictures.” Then, she turned those screenshots into black-and-white postcards.
The piece, called Planet Earth: 21st Century, comprises 370 virtual city-view postcards created as described above, covering a big museum wall.
The project's focal point is the interaction between human perception of the planet, urban landscapes, and 21st-century technology.
In addition, Comani issued a 768-page, 10 × 15 cm book, printed in 2019 and available in German, Italian, and English.
