Just because this is going viral at the moment, AND because people are taking it as fact that these just exist in Germany... I must *promote, and add the note that accompanies the video:

STREETPONG is a concept of urban interaction by Sandro Engel and Holger Michel, developed at the HAWK Hildesheim, Faculty of Art. It is a simulation, not a permanent installation.

Promoting this video back to the front page; last published Tuesday, September 4th, 2012 9:47am PDT - promote requested by spoco2.

Thanks for the promote and the extra informaion, I'll add some of it to the description.>> ^spoco2:

Yeah it's pretty obviously faked. I wish they'd emphasize "simulation".

But they don't because they know that the majority of people are brainless gorms who'll pass this onto people everywhere thinking it's true without stopping to see if there's any other sources that confirm that it's real.

I mean, surely there'd be some other videos of this by now?

Or a reputable news article about them?

If not, you must think something's fishy.

And it is... and the main problem is that the videos getting most of the views are accounts that have just copied the video and not the descriptive text saying it's a concept. Which makes it all the more painful
