Life-sized pictures of people found on Google Street View are printed and posted at the same physical locations where they were taken. The posters are printed in color, cut along the outline, and then affixed to the walls of public buildings at the precise spot where they appear in Google Street View. Street Ghosts reveals aesthetic and biopolitical aspects, as well as legal issues concerning privacy and copyright, which can be explored through the artist’s statement and theoretical considerations. The artwork re-contextualized readymade informational material, and reenacted a social conflict: ghostly human bodies appear as casualties of the info-war in the city, a transitory record of collateral damage from the battle between corporations, governments, civilians and algorithms over the control of public and private information.

在不讓人知的情況下,GOOGLE街景找出人像,用彩色打印成如真人一樣的大小、剪裁好後用漿糊貼回到原本找到的地方去,《遊魂》以美感與政治出發,去揭示私隱與版權等法律問題。作品重塑現成的資訊來重現社會矛盾:如鬼魅的人像出現就有如城市資訊戰的犠牲者--一個在企業、政府、平民之間與公眾與私人數據處理權之爭--過渡性的紀錄。
