Interstate uses motion and time to show a relative perspective of life in traffic. While on the road, people are citizens of a contiguous land mass over 4 million miles long. The rules of the road are law, the signs: the language, and the citizens have their property not on a plot of land, but in constant motion. The photographs show the difference between a snippet of time for a stationary body, and one on a US highway. From the outside, this movement is disorienting, being so close in space to another, but at such a different speed; almost untouchable in the eyes of relativity.
Trips explores the experiences of a journey from Point A to Point B, and what it means to use technology to dictact one's path or experience, or both.
For any given trip, the car route taken was indicated by a GPS, and every mile along that trip, a photo was taken through the windshield. The set was then compiled and overlaid, taking the average color of each pixel in the set.
What results is an aggregate experience of that trip. What would be different had we chosen our own path? What is it about this route that makes it preferable to an algorithm: distance, time, scenery, safety?
