Google Street View | Image: 9-eyes, Jon Rafman
Impressionist landscapes, dead bodies, blank faces, Greek gods, fires, wild animals, drug deals, arrests, motorcycle accidents, prostitutes, people giving the camera the finger, a man climbing out his second story window, a boy hiding, a fire hydrant bursting…artist Jon Rafman has been collecting the accidental art–much of it like opening a vein onto the global urban world–of Google Street View, through his project 9-eyes.

Apparently Rafman hasn’t found any sordid, or creepy, or wonderfully eerie Google Street View images from our gentle streets. Perhaps he hasn’t yet looked. Perhaps a curious reader might? Let us know what you stumble upon.
