Artistic Uses of Images
Fine-art photographers including Mishka Henner, Nick Mason, Aaron Hobson, Jon Rafman, Doug Rickard, and Michael Wolf have selected Google Street View images for use in their own work. Although the images may be pixelated, the colours "muddy", and the perspective "warped", the photographs have been published in book form and exhibited in art galleries. Wolf won an honourable mention in Daily Life in the 2011 World Press Photo competition for some of his work using Google Street View. Mishka Henner was short-listed for the prestigious Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2013 in November 2012 for his series, 'No Man's Land', which depicts sex workers at rural roadside locations.

Famous quotes containing the words artistic and/or images:
“Surely knowledge of the natural world, knowledge of the human condition, knowledge of the nature and dynamics of society, knowledge of the past so that one may use it in experiencing the present and aspiring to the future—all of these, it would seem reasonable to suppose, are essential to an educated man. To these must be added another—knowledge of the products of our artistic heritage that mark the history of our esthetic wonder and delight.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
“The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine.”
—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
