Low-tech mechanical puppets on the fringes of society. They have the size of a Barbie doll, and everything moves.

Gracias a Tom Sale.

Photographer Doug Rickard used Google Street View to find pictures for his latest show at the Museum of Modern Art.

According to Rickard, this epiphany fused immediately into a crystal-clear idea: He would use Street View as his camera and, working from a room in his home, travel the roads of neglected American cities and neighborhoods in a 21st-century “road trip.” This single idea would utterly consume his life for close to two years, resulting in the important body of work “A New American Picture,” a selection of which hangs today in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

driftless1

Life in Iowa can be punishing. Many Iowans expend their lives sweating over soil and spilling the blood of livestock; they endure the hardships associated with a life inextricably bound to the ups and downs of nature. Today, those challenges and a shift in our nation’s economy have pushed the youth of rural communities to migrate to the metropolises of America. Those left in the wake of this out-migration continue their lives, seemingly unchanged from the generations that preceded them, and entombed in obscurity.

This Morten Anderson photo of Oscar Niemeyer’s Palácio do Planalto set me on a search to find others. I couldn’t find a better one. Here is more about Niemeyer. Here is his Palácio da Alvorada.

Update: I had the Palácios reversed in the original post.
