Google Streetview Germany went life yesterday and the whole country goes nuts about it, (not enough blur, too much blur, unblur FB groups etc.) haha …. OMG. After I posted my ‘15 Seconds of Fame Streetview self portraits series‘ yesterday press picked it up and I was featured in two newspapers today. Berliner Morgenpost got it quite right (because they called and I told them the story that I jumped out the cafe and ran actually dancing behind the Google car :-)

Tagesspiegel (below) got it wrong. They describe me as being mad at the G-car.  That s not true!!! I would never do that!!! I used to drive that car too!! ;-) But Tagesspiegel is professional journalism, so they called and will get it right tomorrow with a new piece on me and my work. Looking fwd to that! :-) Stay tuned for a scan. (No need to by paper ;-)

Look at that desperate guy running behind the Google Streetview car in Berlin
(that s me :-) hehe … congrats Germany! (original tweet from 10-13-2009)

On the same day in Fall 2009 F.A.T. lab came up with the idea to build the fake Google car for Transmediale :-) http://fffff.at/google-street-view-car/ http://vimeo.com/9455140

Yes!! The ‘official’ Google Streetview car was seen at the ‘Freedom not fear’ demonstration Berlin last Saturday! Great that Google joined the Demonstration “…against excessive surveillance by governments and businesses – Stop Surveillance Mania!“

While having lunch a good old friend passed the scene on Dnazigerstr. Berlin, we ran out and I took pictures of Bre and Tim posing in front of the so colorfull, happy, not evil G-car …

Haha …this is so good!!! Let’s see how much more desperate they‘ll get.
