Week 11: Internet Art – Grace Currier

This project by Kyle McDonald is essentially a livestream taking place in four different cities, through which users can tag different people or objects that they see with their observations. I think this project is really cool because the tags are an accurate depiction of the human race: all different languages, some funny, some serious, some inappropriate, some extremely insightful. I also like the fact that the project is ever-changing; it never stays the same for more than thirty seconds. Although in my opinion, it is slightly creepy that people can comment on the actions of people who are completely oblivious that they are being watched, the idea itself is very creative and outside of the box.
