Project Outline
Glenn Davidson (Artstation) is commissioned to create a ‘sousveillance’ exploring what a Reversing the Google Car (RGC) might mean and look like. Leading up to the Festival Glenn has been discussing the RGC with a diverse range of invited ‘guests’ to find out how to reverse the Google Car, starting off by looking at its various effects upon us. The conversations will contribute to a public drawing to evoke the issues of e.g. being mapped with out being asked.

The process will endeavour to proffer a retaliatory vision, a small reverse in the ongoing saga of our observed condition. During the Festival the conversation and the drawing will be opened up in a session that develops the emergent themes, and presents the drawing.

Amongst contributors to RGC will be Charlie Gere (author of Art, Time & Technology) and other practitioners and theorists drawn from Architecture, Cultural Studies, Art Practice, Art Theory, Film, Computer Science, Anthropology, Government,plus many generalists... If you have ideas you would like to express about Google maps, the product of Google and their car, and/or would like to contribute to this project, please contact below.
You May Fund is a May You Live in Interesting Times commission that was made possible by Safle with the financial assistance of the Arts Council of Wales.

The following blog is of invited guests who will reflect on what Reversing the Google Car means to them. Please contact glenn@artstation.org.uk  if you would like to be part.
