So this initially feels like watching someone play Geoguesser with some old crime show playing in the background, but as it goes on, the editing and presentation become much more interesting. I’m not sure what the intent is. Perhaps something about observation and surveillance in the digital age. Or how to convey a story with new visuals. There’s something somewhat interesting and potentially thought-provoking here, but it just doesn’t go far enough. But it’s on Vimeo so why not check it out?
