Google Maps is sick
It looks like google maps has a serious disease. Swineflu maybe? Some days ago red dots (smallpox?) appeared in the (inter)face. Uhh … looks awful. Someone please call the doctor!
(Hey Google!! You can’t just change the interface without asking. What am I supposed to do with my “Map” installation now ???!! You already messed up the navigation cross a while ago!! OMG … HELP !!!)
;-)
"Map" at inSPIRACJE
inSPIRACJE festival in Szczecin, Poland (just 150 km from Berlin) was great fun. On its 5th edition the festival showed work of more than 65 artists in over 20 venues in the city. I am please to show the “Map” installation which marks out the center of the city at Pl. Żołnierza Polskiego. It’ll stay there for 3 months in public so the people of Szczecin will find their way ;-) . The piece came out very well and the team of inSPIRACJE did a great job on it.
Thx a lot to Joanna Trela, international coordination!
Thx a lot to Rafał Roguszka for production coordination!
Thx a lot to to Bartek Kalejta and the rest of the logistic team, which did a great job!
Thx a lot to the whole inSPIRACJE team to make this possible!!!
and thx for the great hospitality!
This time a bit more highres, “Map” at inSPIRACJE.art.pl. More pics to come ….

This picture looks like a 1997 (compuserve-) GIF but was actually taken today by a mobile phone cam and then send via MMS (probably compressed again) to me. “Map” is up and running! It marks out what Google considers to be the center of the polish city Sczcecin. From Berlin it’s just a 2h trip by train and by Brandenburgticket (35,- / 5 people) very cheap to go there. Think about it! inSPIRACJE festival !

Under Construction
The google “Map” marker under construction. Next week this 300kg wood version of Map will be finished and shown during festival inSPIRACJE “Space” in Szczecin, PL. 19.-23.3.2009
We’re famous
And more Google map marker conquer public space. Hmm … is this just a poster from the shop owner or a advertisment campaign by Google? I thought they are not running campaigns? Are you famous because you are on google map? I doubt that.
Anyway, Berlin is going to be famous too. The Google car with 6 digi cams on the roof for Google Streetview has been spotted in Berlin. A big discussion on the privacy issue (take care of your cats!) has started already.
Ok, let s have some messages, signs and posters ready for Google …
Hey, this is going to be a huge ’screentshot’ of Berlin streetart 2008. Let’s get to work …

Fake Real – Real Fake
I take it as a compliment like in chinese culture when I find reproductions of my work on the net. This Google Map marker is a nice and very subtle variation of my “Map” installation. And Paul The Wine Guy has a whole series of web/computer symbols in public space in his flickr set. Some well known graffiti artists are cited there, too. But the irony of the collection showed up while I was taking a closer look at the “photographs”. Most of them (or even all) turn out to be photoshoped. In case of the map marker is some 3D involved. Well done, good job, hehe.
The digital to real translation has become so much mainstream that it doesn’t need to be accomplished in physical space any more. Maybe time has come for me to change the plan and to go back into architecture again. ;-)

Thanks for the link Peter!
Green map marker
Besides the classic red map marker Google has introduced more colors like green for navigation and blue for user content on the Google maps web interface. I am still waiting for the day these icons conquer every day life public space.
Sometimes I find already tiny samples
