Description of exhausting a crowd:

This internet art is produced by Kyle McDonald. The interesting interactive space shows the hustle and bustle in four sites: London, Netherlands, Birmingham, and Gwangju. From the view of a security camera installed in the corner, the user can make annotations on the 12-hour video. They can also click on some object and create the dialogues or any kind of encounters by typing the words in the text box.

I consider it meaningful because we can watch the prosperity of the modern city from a different perspective. This time, we are involved in a digital and art world. We are able to take an insight into the utility of public place, the surveillance, and the interpersonal relationship.
