Postcards from Google Earth is a series of screenshots of strange moments in Google Earth, where the illusion of a seamless representation of the Earth’s surface breaks down.

They expose the network of algorithms, computers, storage systems, automated cameras, maps, pilots, engineers, photographers, surveyors, and map-makers that generate them.
