GRAND VIEW 1


IMAGE:

Nearly identical user videos of the same site are collected and arranged together using the embed features available on an external site to create a singular unending perspective.
In GRAND VIEW 1, we see seven humbly panning videos of the same overlook at the Grand Canyon: a stop along the sightseeing route where visitors all use their cameras at the same time to capture the same phenomenon.
The differences between these clips - camera models and settings, dates, nationalities and languages, distances travelled, upload locations, etc., come together to form a flattened horizon that oscillates in and out of alignment as each descriptive pan loops continuously.
When aligned these views form a new landscaped moment -that of the archive's multiplied vernacular experience.
As new user videos are added, the landscape continues to expand.
