Round the world

Round the World is a four-screen, four-wall projection that depicts two voyages: a world tour via webcam footage of trains, planes, buses, and trucks and an 1888 recording by Thomas Edison, who, while testing his new recording device, narrates a fictional tour around the world.

Round the World is part of Network Movies, a series of videos and video installations produced between 2005 and 2007,which use sampled data flows of images from online security webcams from around the world to create portraits of global landscapes.
