The present work comes from Donglai Meng's latest series, “No One Cares", where her infamous hairy-legged creatures go on an adventure on earth. To determine their destination, the artist randomly pins a location on Google Map, then paints according to the street wiews generated by Google. The places selected by the artists are usually ordinary - people could pass by the streets every day without particular reasons for visiting. In other words, they represent an “everyday-ness”. However, the virtual street views are practically virtual and most of them were snapped on a moving camera from years ago, making the imageries lagged in time. Even though one can visit the exact location (reflected in the title), they would not be able to see the same flower, or car, or surroundings. The coordinates of this work are located in Iceland.

本幅作品出自孟东来的最新系列《无人在意》，其中，她画中著名的毛腿生物来到地球冒险。为了找寻他们的目的地，艺术家在谷歌地图上随机定位一个位置，然后根据地图生成的街景重新创作。孟东来选择的地点通常都很普通——例如人们每天都会经过平凡街道，及没有特定访问必要的位置。换句话说，它们代表了一种“日常性”。然而，网络上的街景是虚拟的，而且大多数是多年前用移动相机拍摄的，使得这些图像实际上在时间上更为滞后。因此，即使人们可以访问作品标题中确切的位置，他们也无法看到同一朵花，汽车，或者周围的环境。此件作品的坐标位于冰岛。
