GoogleScape is a photo gallery, based on the online application 'Google Street View'. Each time the gallery is visited, it shows the photograph of a randomly selected place in the Netherlands. Also every minute the site is refreshed and shows a new photo. The photos made by Google are presented as artworks, refering to dutch landscape painting but also questioning the importance of documentary photography nowadays.
