With the development of GPS and mapping network (google Maps, google Earth…) world-wide territory is being increasingly documented. For more than a decade, the artists have seized upon these technologies to propose new maps, either from simple drifts or in a more social and anthropological - but always in a spirit of loyalty as to the reality of the routes and their related documentation.

The road between us suggests exactly the opposite : exploiting the proliferation of Flickr geo-localized images, we've created a program that builds true/false routes from the position of the images in space. Following an initial image selected at random on the globe, the program seeks the photo closest to it, and so forth.
Then we can view and virtually retrace this journey in google Earth. The authors of the various photographs used are tied (or related) in a fictitious ballad - although realistic and plausible -, providing us the micro-story of their adventures.
