Technical Information

Lake Como Remix was created through the use of Google's Street View Technology as he walks us through a tunnel and road near Lake Como. At the start of the digital video, the soundtrack is very soft but eerie as it goes through a dark tunnel and abstract forms and shapes appear. The soundtrack of this digital video also starts to glitch as the video progresses and ruins our experience of the scenery. It is revealed to us that the medium chosen was through Google Street View as we see the logo and lines across the video with labelled street names. In the process, Artist 2.0 attempts to experiment and reveal the glitch aesthetics of the imagery the online map program provides and corrupts the idea of said image creating the illusion of actually being there. Artist 2.0 tries to play with the false idea of high-definition imaging is closer to realism through this process.

Influences

Artist 2.0’s influences for their glitch works are stimulated by things, moods and places more than people. Many would include cyberpunk, situationism, noise, loop and, repetition. Artist 2.0 uses Google Street View to reinvent themselves as an artist and to show us their visualization process. Lake Como Remix also bears resemblance to his earlier work, Mobile Conduction in which he takes a video of a tramp ride with a handheld phone.
