Art from Google Street View: Edgar Leciejewski - Shift

Google's online service ''Street View'' provides images of streets, roads and places around the world. If there's a person in the shot, the face is pixelated - and those ''facless ghosts'' are exactly what German artist Edgar Leciejewski is looking for. He uses the images to create art. In his series "NYC Ghosts and Flowers,'' he took Google Street View images of people around New York City and enlarged them, pixelated faces and all. Now, his art is making the rounds in galleries around Europe. His works are on display in the German city of Stuttgart through March, and more are being featured in the city of Düsseldorf. And he has also published a book called ''NYC. ghosts and flowers. how to build a sun" with his latest work.
