Hunting for an Apple
Look around.
And collect every data you get.
Digital cards such as Google or Apple Maps have received special attention in the artistic genesis of PERMEDIUM. While earlier works focused on objects added to the maps, in the urban performance *Hunting for an Apple*, the artist himself is the focus.
The *Hunting for an Apple* performance was not planned. Rather, it was an opportunity seized to add a portrait of myself to Apple’s mapping service.
Upon seeing a “Look Around” camera vehicle from the American company Apple Inc. in the immediate vicinity of the studio, I spontaneously turned around on my bicycle and followed the vehicle.
Five months after the recording, the chase from Hamburg’s Feldstraße via Schulterblatt to Juliusstraße can be found worldwide on Apple Maps.
