Jason Isolini performed “The Ballad of a Laborer”: an online artwork to be experienced through Google Street View. The project was inspired partly by his discovery that the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as a privately-owned property, is not accessible to Google Street View cars. All views of the Navy Yard — as well as the digital objects, other photographic elements, and images of the artist’s performance — were mapped and added by the artist over the course of three years. To date Isolini has contributed over a thousand images to street view and has received over 25 million views.

Jason Isolini is a Brooklyn-based artist, whose network interventions test the increased conflation of corporate, public and private environments.

Screenings include Microscope Gallery, Vector Festival, Cosmic Rays Film Festival, Mock Jungle, Ammerman Center for Art and Technology, and Humboldt University Berlin. Jason received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).
