While cartographing the world, the Google Street View car sometimes crosses paths with animals. ACCIDENTAL ANIMALS examines these encounters between the technical reproduction machine and animals such as spiders, donkeys or dogs. How comes the algorithm blurs pigs' faces? And what does it mean when 15 cameras focus on the eyes of an animal?
