A piece by Nicolas Roope (of Hulger, Poke and much more) in which he plays with the boundaries between a virtual visit to Chicago in Google Streetview and a real visit to Chicago in person.

Apparently it worked like this: Nicolas first went to selected places in Google Streetview, grabbed some of the Street View images and photoshopped himself into them. Subsequently, he went in person to the same places in Chicago, placed a print of the photoshopped Street View images at the scene they were originally taken. Then, he documented it by taking a photo of the image and put it on the web along with a a small text and a link to the Street View location.
