I chose “Lake Como Remix”.
The world’s depicted through this video reminds me a lot of old video games from the 90’s and early to mid 2000’s visually. It uses much earlier builds of the google street view as well as google earth to get these photos. These photos were then used to create a continuous video of us travelling and navigating through Lake Como in Italy.
The way it’s constructed makes an interesting tourist video, because a good chunk of it is supposedly glitched out on purpose, and paired up with the older street view visuals, it does look like a broken glitched video game like I mentioned in the beginning. The added use of a melancholy soundtrack adds a lot to the exploration aspect of this tour, it makes it feel like something is wrong, and it’s weird seeing how empty the place is.
