The territory that connects my house to my grandparents' house. The route is 5.8 km long. Along this path, for as long as I can remember, there are places that have always captivated me. Whether for their structure, their irony, or the questions.

According to the civil code from Argentina, “(…) when hidden defects or flaws appear in the item sold.”

This definition makes me think about the area between my house and my grandparents' house. The route is 5.8 km long. Along this path, for as long as I can remember, there are places that have always intrigued me. Whether it's their structure, their irony, or the questions they raise.

Why is there a large hotel in a non-touristy area? How can an antique shop survive the test of time? What are so many women doing at a bus stop at midnight?

It is from this perspective that I have compiled Street View images that contain digital editing errors, inherent to the system that creates them.

These errors reinforce and add a layer of fiction to the landscape. Currently, with the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, we can appropriate the phrase "made with AI" to talk about "made in Argentine Intelligence," referring to a territory full of bizarre and surreal scenes, where error amplifies the fictional, utopian, and humorous character of the territory.
