It is all well and good that Google cars automatically blur out faces when they drive through neighborhoods and take pics, so as to avoid any legeal trouble. But there is something else their camera and software does. It blurs all faces. This includes the faces they drive by of staues and monuments all across the country. Artist Marion Balac realized how funny this was, and went about collecting some of these pics with the blurred faces of the famous and infamous.
She calls the project "Anonymous Gods" and as you can see, it works on multiple levels. It is funny and thought-provoking, which the best art should always be. It also shows us the absurdity of technology and how its imperfection has taken over our lives.
