Abstract
Unreliable Landscapes’ is an interdisciplinary forum (web and print) for the presentation and discussion of art centred on the possibilities of imagining the digital poetics of city living. Congruently Unreliable Landscapes—Downtown Auckland is the title of David Cowlard’s aerial assemblage, a constellation of overlapping Google Earth ‘snapshots’ timestamped—viewing the progress of the construction of the City Rail Link, and the consequent demise of The Downtown Shopping Centre,Hobson Street Auckland, paired with an evocative sound recording of squealing metal-on-metal rail recording. Are the audio recordings future focused (assemblage) or indeed those of the current state: readers slip seamlessly between both modes: unsure. Visual memories past and the audio future focused. One greets the works as an aerial flâneur-photographers moving through the landscape / city scape.
