Watcher watching the watchers watching
I am attracted to these sites and their apparatuses, as much as the idea of being able to get a closer look at something is attractive there is also an aspect of this that is essentially telling the observer where to look and what to look at. I always wonder to what extent this affects how the broader field of view as well as the observers own perspective is somehow directed. I think there is a value to simply discovering things of our freely exploring with our eyes.
One of my favourite activities is to simply go somewhere I have never been, getting a little lost, feeling displaced and then using my eyes and ears to negotiate the terrain. This has been a very part of my work with photography, I choose odd places that I cannot immediately place a reason of meaning to. It is the experience that creates meaning.
