In Oct 2009 I ran spontaneously behind the Google Streetview car on Borsigstrasse Berlin. One year later the Streetview pictures were published by Google and my action became a performance piece. I called it “15 Seconds Of Fame“. I could be found on the service for a very long time, for almost 14 years. Google never updated the picture set because there were big discussions over privacy questions in Germany back then. But couple weeks ago, on July 25th 2023 Google ran an update and I disappeared from the service. „15 seconds of fame“ turned into almost 15 years ;)) The work is finally complete. https://vimeo.com/334682517 #15secondsoffame #arambartholl #2009-2023 #google #streetview #germany

@aramba@tldr.nettime.org is it possible that you are also taller now? Like a late in life growth spurt? 😂

@aramba@tldr.nettime.org I think Street View allows you to look at older versions. I seem to remember that I did that a few times.

@aramba@tldr.nettime.org Much better than the one of me that they had for several years. It was just my face sticking out between closed curtains, wondering why there was a large vehicle laboriously turning around on the tiny shared driveway of the 5 houses here! I am bald and was wearing sunglasses at the time, so multiple people remarked that I resembled Charles Bronson, "Britain's most violent prisoner" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-64786436
