About this film

Jason Isolini performed “The Ballad of a Laborer”: an online artwork to be experienced through Google Street View. The project was inspired partly by his discovery that the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as a privately-owned property, is not accessible to Google Street View cars. All views of the Navy Yard — as well as the digital objects, other photographic elements, and images of the artist’s performance — were mapped and added by the artist over the course of three years. To date Isolini has contributed over a thousand images to street view and has received over 25 million views. Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
