Isla Del Hierro Virtual

is
a series of glitched images of the Island of Hierro in the Canary Islands,
captured form Google Street View. I lived on that island for a while in the
1970s, when the only way to get there was by boat four times a week.
International communication was by a special phone in the Central
Telefónica. It was really far away. Now it is so close by I can visit it by
internet any time I want. I did go back two years ago, and reunited with
old friends, the children of a family that had been especially close to me.
