The project is called “ Street Ghosts . ” Cirio himself put it this room toCNET :
In this task , I exposed the specters of Google ’s unending region of private , misappropriated data : the bodies of hoi polloi captured by Google ’s Street View cameras , whose ghostly , virtual presence I marked in Street Art mode at the exact spot in the existent world where they were photographed .
So far , Cirio has post his specters in New York , London , and Berlin , with the voltage of more cities to come up . So if one day , you walk around a corner and find yourself fount - to - blurred - face with a strikingly familiar form , Paul Cirio might be to charge .
