The Cyclical Night: Glitches, Governance, and the Erasure of Night in Google Street View
SessionReframing Vision
Description“La Noche Cíclica” is a multi-part project that investigates the algorithmic suppression of night in Google Street View. Through a video sculpture, web archive, print album, and conceptual intervention, the work reveals how fragments of nighttime—caused by system delays and stitching errors—disrupt the platform’s default spatial-temperal logic of continous daylight. These fleeting anomalies challenge the linear, functional temporality of machine vision and question the infrastructure behind digital mapping systems. The project explores how data-driven media reconstruct the visible world, and how moments of error can become sites of resistance, visibility, and alternative spatial memory.
