Street With A View by Robin Hewlett & Ben Kinsley



Local Pittsburgh artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley staged surreal scenes along Sampsonia Way for the Google Inc. Street View car to capture.

The scenes have just been launched, so now when people check out the Google Street View on-line, they see a parade, someone about to escape out a window down a rope of bed sheets, a garage band, a sword fight, a marathon, a random giant chicken sculpture, and other odd things that make Sampsonia Way a bizarre little wonderland. The parade looks great, complete with confetti and a marching band. 

The community involvement is impressive, and the whole idea is just so fun!  Check out more about the project and explore the scenes through the project's web site, here: http://www.streetwithaview.com
