Google Street View Glitches Show A Haunting Digital World

Finding something glitchy and weird on Google Maps and Google Street View is always exciting. It feels like finding the needle in a haystack, even if it’s just a malformed panorama photo. Artist Emilio Vavarella decided to collect the best ones into a gallery, to reflect the relationship between humans and technological errors.

He named his project “Report a Problem” after the message that sometimes appears at the bottom of Google Street View. Pretty cool stuff, looks like a deserted, glitched out virtual reality rather than errors on Google Maps.

Here are a few picks from his gallery, but head over to his site for a lot more:
