About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place and I tell you what its map imagery really is. Street view, satellite, 3D and map tiles are a patchwork of dates, never labelled: a square photographed years before the restoration, a riverbank from 2014, a point where the 'street view' is actually an indoor museum panorama, a block still standing on the map after it came down. You get a short brief: the imagery date I can confirm for each angle, the one thing that changed, and the gaps I could not verify. First look is free. If it holds, the full brief is one page with every date held against a source you can open, plus what I could not confirm. I do not invent landmarks and I do not pretend I stood there.
