Description of Exhausting a Crowd:

This is an internet project finished by Kyle McDonald. It allows the users to annotate on the 2-day footage of a security camera placed in the city, the notes written by the users can be static or become tracing lines that follow the routes the users draw on the footage. 

It’s a fun experience for the users because of the subtitles they can write for the passengers in the footage. Users are creating scenarios by themselves.

This is a wise consideration of public space, surveillance and our relationship with others as they are removed from the physical world and are always circulating in this evolving digital narrative

On the bottom-left corner, I annotated a line with the bike-riding old man.
