Digital photography

Absolutely. I was reading the stuff about streetview the other night and it made me think of Man Ray. I can't remember what he called them, but he used to take photographs at random without framing or composing the image, and he came to many of his photographic discoveries (such as rayographs) by accident as a result of experimentation. I reckon he would have loved streetview as an innovation, especially when it produces weird effects. I definitely don't think he'd agree with this:
Surely streetview is the ultimate "unconcerned, but not indifferent"?

Man ray shot from the hip, not indiscriminately. That's just zone focusing and snapping away when you glimpse something interesting. He also thought of Photography as an Artistic medium. Not straight up documentation (debatable I know). That was my point. Of course Streetview is indifferent. It was designed to MAP, not record. streetview is a byproduct of the mapping process as we're visual creatures. We look for landmarks and symbols.

Again, I love streetview and all that comes with it, I just don't agree with Photographic automation as a mass usage. As in for what everyone produces that has no Artistic premise.
There was a body of work by someone who collected hundreds of images of famous landmarks and overlapped them. The difference in composition was negligible. Of course, that could be down to geography, but my point is, the majority of people already take the same shots.
Automate it with a camera like Ed suggested, and imagine the rest.
