Google Street View Becomes a Stage for Performance Art

by Terrence O'Brien on November 7, 2008 at 12:22 PM


Google Maps' Street View is rife with interesting little Easter eggs, but most of the hidden gems are unintentional. We've gathered creepy invasions of privacy and seen the Google Street View team posing outside its Mountain View, California headquarters. Now, with the cooperation of the Street View team, Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley have turned Sampsonia Way in Pittsburgh's Northside into a canvas for a series of staged scenes.

The project, called Street With a View, features neighborhood residents acting out a parade, a marathon, and a practice for a garage band. Moving down Sampsonia way and looking about the 36- degree field of view reveals smaller scenes like a sword fight and a love laser.

Check out the Street With a View site for more details about the project and to be taken straight to the narrow roadway lined with performers. [From: Google Blogoscoped]
