Google's Objective Perspective

I love Google Street Views. If I'm bored, a lot of times I'll find myself moving through the streets of some foreign city on the service. The vehicles that take pictures for this service have often times picked up some very disturbing images of crimes being committed, emergencies in progress and also some incredibly beautiful images.
9 Eyes, from Canadian artist Jon Rafman, curates some of the best images in large format pictures that people have found as well as his own discoveries on the service. He wrote a great piece last year about Google's technology, its artistic merits and what the photography says about how we can view the world.
The site taken as a whole is amazing, a little profane at times and an enriching look at the world.
