Ghosttown

When Google released Street View in Germany the world was shocked. Because it looked like Germans wash outside. Wherever you look there would be a huge shower cabin in the street. Well, the reality is not so exciting. The milk glass constructions are just houses, blurred by Google on request of the house owners who think that exposing their facades on the Internet can harm their privacy.

Well, the reality is not so exciting. The milk glass constructions are just houses, blurred by Google on request of the house owners who think that exposing their facades on the Internet can harm their privacy. Ghosttown is an elegant and bitter response of Communication Design students to the paranoia that swept across Germany. It is a research of the new image (and new imageries) of Germany and you are invited to participate in it.



Ghosttown is a project made during Attention Design workshop, given by Manuel Burger
