Description
Summary:This thesis is a creative response to the widespread uptake of Google Maps, Earth and Street View and their impact on the future of landscape as a cultural concept. ‘Creative administration’ is introduced as an idiosyncratic system for collecting and interpreting ideas about landscape.

Cultural geography contextualises these artworks and other artists’ responses within a broader understanding of contemporary landscape.
