Travel by approximation
▻http://www.jennyodell.com/tba.html
I set several parameters for this trip in order to preserve a sense of spatial wandering as well as the integrity of my source information:
1. I had to find things by wandering on Google Street View before researching them further on other sites (as opposed to looking up a list of attractions for a given city, then traveling to one of those destinations).
2. I could not digitally alter the photos I put myself into; I could only alter the photo of myself to match my virtual surroundings.
3. Each day of the trip was physically feasible in terms of gas, food, safety, and a place to stay. I only “drove” a realistic distance each day, based on the mileage of my real car.
