03.07.2010 Hacking Google Street View
In researching an artist residency, I came across American artist Ben Kinsley. I've seen only a little of his art, but he's certainly got a sense of humor and passes the infamous "I'd like to have a beer with that guy" test.
Saliently, he organized a series of street events for the passing Google Street View car, around his neighborhood in Pittsburgh. I found them just by searching for "Sampsonia Way" and then exploring, which is maybe the best way to find it. Block after block of normal street-view, rainy day, sunny day, and then... what's that girl with the umbrella doing there, twice? And then it all goes wild...
Anyone know of other Street View interventions? Besides that poor Finnish guy. (Oh. That's been taken down. Probably for the best.)
