- Inventive. A man walked down a street with 99 phones in a wagon. Google Maps thought it was a traffic jam. he streets were shaded the dreaded dark red on Google Maps, warning drivers of a traffic nightmare. In reality, though, almost no one was on the road — except for a lone man pulling a little red wagon packed with 99 smartphones. Apps such as Google Maps provide real-time traffic data through crowdsourcing, monitoring the location and speed of phones traveling along on a roadway. The assumption, as noted by Ars Technica, is that the phones are there because they’re being carried by drivers inside cars. Usually, a bunch of slow-moving phones could be safely interpreted to mean gridlock. But in this case, the traffic jam was apparently the work of Simon Weckert, a Berlin-based artist. He calls it “Google Maps Hacks” — performance art meant to demonstrate the pervasive, real-life influence of modern technology.
