Mapping Geotagged Photos in Public Spaces
For any city, thousands of geotagged photos are available online. The project maps these photos in the places where they were taken.
A custom-built camera flash + smartphone setup queries the Flickr and Panoramio APIs for photos taken at the current geographical position. Whenever there's a photo available, a flash is triggered.
Long-exposure photography captures multiple flash lights — each representing one geotagged photo — and situates them in the place of their origin.

I have open sourced the technology to interact with an Arduino via a phone headphone jack. This way, please:
