Paolo Cirio was born in 1979 and is an artist that uses new
media, and is known for his controversial and innovative artworks. He has won
several international awards, exhibited in famous museums and art institutions
worldwide. His work deals with various issues related to the rise of digital
media in genres such as copyright, privacy, transparency, finance and
advertising.
He finds life-sized
pictures of people that are found on Google’s Street view and were printed and
posted without the person’s approval at the same spot where they were taken.
The posters are printed in colour on thin paper, cut along the outline and then
fixed with wheat-paste on the walls of public buildings at the same spot where
the person appeared in Google’s street view image.
