Google Street View f*ck fingers


 
Back in 2011 artist Michael Wolf started to collect images from Google Street View of folks flippin’ the bird at the Google Maps Camera Cars as they passed by them. Wolf has amassed quite a collection by this point as you can imagine. The exhibition is called “A Series of Unfortunate Events” which is dedicated to Google Street View mishaps and its subset of the series is simply titled “Fuck You.”

I’ve only known one person to be captured by the Google Maps Camera Car. Unfortunately, my friend was hipped to his appearance on Google Street View by someone who recognized him while looking for apartments on Craigslist. The person said to my friend, “Hey man, I saw you on Google Street View. You’re on a little girl’s pink bike.” My friend immediately looked up the coordinates and lo and behold, there he was, riding a Huffy pink bike—which he borrowed from his youngest sister ‘cause his bike had a flat tire—while holding a bag of take-out tacos.

I’m sure if he could do it all over again, he’d flip Google the bird, too.
