In 1906, the Miles Brothers made the film "A Trip Down Market Street", documenting Market Street in San Francisco before a major earthquake. After the catastrophe, the authors documented the street once again. Subsequently, the new film was called "A Trip Down Market Street After the Fire", becoming a tragic reflection of the city after a natural disaster and accompanying fires. In 1974, the structuralist filmmaker Ernie Gehr reprinted the Miles brothers's film in a slow version and called it "Eureka". Referring to the chronicle canvas of the Miles brothers and the avant-garde imprint of Ernie Gehr, the virtual camera films the Market Street of the fictional San Fierro in the classic video game GTA: San Andreas (2004) and creates an alternative version of life in which the earthquake could never happen, because the in-game terrestrial bark is a monolithic simulation that cannot be affected by external and internal damage. However, not all in-game space is undamageable, and everything that is "alive" impresses with its fragility. The authors integrate a missile attack on the infrastructure and civilians of Market Street, changing the peaceful way of life to a state of war, rhyming the in-game space with the chronicle "A Trip Down Market Street After the Fire".
