The Wilderness Downtown

After talking about advertising and conspiracy theories the other day, I was reminded of this website:
http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/
Google's advertising technology is able to read the text of our e-mail to create targeted-advertising, while Google Earth is able to use geotag information from pictures we take on our cellphones. From this information they can create street-level views of places, allowing them to catalog our positions and the position of photographs within time and space. It's pretty creepy to say the least, since, Google probably knows more about us than we know about ourselves.
Anyway, here's an "interactive" music video that uses the Google earth technology to create an individualized viewing experience based on whatever address that you give it.
