This ain't art its real


So the other week I figure wouldn't it be a great idea to have images that are visible to people using google maps. That would mean the images are HUGE right! Guess what... WHUT-WHUT!
...yeah, WOW!

I am still trying to trace coordinates though to see if the images are visible using Google Maps. The reason the idea is killer is that you would be able to highlight problem areas, such as the housing fuck ups in loads of developing countries; Rains forests being sneakily chopped; genocide being perpetrated... stuff like that.
Obviously I haven't worked out the different logistics, nor will you exactly see me out there trying to create great wall sized art... but you know, someone projected the karma and I felt it and well there it is for all to see.

Or it could just be fun, imagine Jozi works out a grid system for switching off the lights in certain parts of the city and when you look at jozi on google maps at night you see the words "j-o-z-i" in black against the twinkle of big city lights. Imagine New York spelling out "I heart NY", maybe Chicago can get ambitious and spell out "Oprah for President!" One thing's for sure, it would look much better then just switching off the lights for an hour.
