Summary<\/p>\n

Jon Rafman\u2019s \u201cNine Eyes of Google Street View\u201d takes center stage in Report a concern \u2013 The Nine Eyes Archives, now on view at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
\nThe exhibition features original images from the ongoing \u201cNine Eyes\u201d project, alongside a film and a new AI piece based off the series<\/p>\n

When Google unleashed its fleet of camera-mounted Street View cars in 2007, it accidentally gave rise to a new way of seeing \u2014 an endless, automated stare that captured life\u2019s strange, funny, poetic and sometimes brutal moments as they unravelled. It\u2019s a gaze, indifferent to beauty and morality, that caught the attention of Canadian artist Jon Rafman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Rafman began his own archive of unusual captures, blossoming into \u201cNine Eyes of Google Street View<\/a>,\u201d a move that would later become one of the defining works of digital art history, laying the grounds for surveillance and algorithmic aesthetics as we now know it.\n<\/p>\n

Now, for the first time, the seminal, ongoing series is getting a full-scale museum spotlight. Staged at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art<\/a> in Denmark, Report a concern \u2013 The Nine Eyes Archives unpacks the impact of Rafman\u2019s breakthrough project, tracing it into our current technological (and geographical) landscape.\n<\/p>\n

The exhibition gathers 50-large-format Street View images mounted within immersive scenographic installations, alongside an archive of 320 works and the 2010 film \u201cYOU, THE WORLD AND I,\u201d a story of lost love, lensed by Google Street View and Google Earth. Also on view is a new, untitled work which sees AI-animated images from the Nine Eyes\u00a0archives, furthering Rafman\u2019s ongoing investigation of life in a post-truth world.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are the glitches in the technology that point to the artificiality of Street View\u2014 the happy accident of error that creates something beautiful,\u201d he reflects. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s the noir street life \u2014 the man with the gun, the prostitute, the drunks, the seedy underbelly. There\u2019s the romantic, the surreal, the abject, the beautiful \u2014 all the different poles of existence.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Report a concern \u2013 The Nine Eyes Archives is now on view<\/a> in Humlebaek, Denmark through January 11, 2026.\n<\/p>\n
