An Artist Used 99 Phones to Fake a Google Maps Traffic Jam | Google Maps Hack

With “Google Maps Hack,” artist Simon Weckert draws attention to the systems we take for granted—and how we let them shape us.
99 smartphones are transported in a handcart to generate virtual traffic jam in Google Maps.Through this activity, it is possible to turn a green street red which has an impact in the physical world by navigating cars on another route to avoid being stuck in traffic. #googlemapshacks
