“One of the most memorable results of the “Fuck Google Week” at Transmediale 2010 was the fake Google Street View car that F.A.T. Lab was able to build and send out in Berlin. This came at a time when Google was introducing Google Street View in Germany, generating a lot of criticism and stimulating much debate on privacy issues.
The Fake Google Street View Car was a non-functional replica of the actual Google Street View car, made using the car model choosen by Google to scan streets in Germany, and mounting a DIY but faithful replica of the nine-eyed camera on its top. Then F.A.T. Lab members started driving the car in the streets of Berlin, sending its GPS coordinates to a map available on their website.
