View of Superkilen, Nørrebro

A kilometre-long public park that winds its way through an area to the north of Copenhagen’s city centre, Superkilen is dotted with surreal follies – from a giant Japanese octopus slide to a star-shaped Moroccan fountain – inspired by the many different nationalities that live in this diverse district.

Bringing the ‘Ghosts’ of Google Street View To Life

There’s a whole cottage industry online devoted to mining for these oddities (see here, here, here, and here, a blog devoted entirely to people caught walking their dogs on Google Street View).

Artist Paolo Cirio, however, believes that all of these images are misappropriated data.

“It’s really interesting for me that Google didn’t ask permission to do what they did, just going around every single city in the world and taking pictures without even alerting the police, or the public administration”
