Abstract

The article is an attempt to reflect on the phenomenon of non-human photography. The starting point of the text is noticing that because of the automatization of the photographing process, the photography created by humans is merely one of the fields of contemporary photography. The article is an analysis of Jon Rafman’s and Michael Wolf’s artistic projects in which they utilize images created by automatic Google Street View cameras. Artists expose cracks, gaps and errors of this system, bringing their projects close to the field of glitch art. The vital aspects of the analysis are its reflection on the notion of non-human gaze, its questioning of the truthfulness of the photography, and its examination of how the Google Street View interface is constructed.
