The Dream of Travelling Fast

Imag[in]ing the Streets with Google Street View

With the help of Google Maps I now will try to reconstruct a weird experience I had some time ago. If you do not know about the passages, just believe me. You also have to believe me that it was not a passage which brought me to the first place below. This is the real secret of my story and I will not rest until I have found out.

At first I did not know where I was, really, I just became aware that I must have left Moscow. I can not remember how I got here.

  

With no idea how to proceed I went up to the light, the end of the tunnel. After some while I got stuck, didn't know which way to take.



  

I made the right way and finally discover a place I could rest a bit. They sent me away because I had no money for buying anything to drink. Later I found a water fountain where I could lighten me from my thirst.

 

 



 



I moved around wildly and then I knew, this it is. This will bring me back home to Moscow.

 

I could feel the intensity of the place, the energy, which told me it is one of the passages. Eyes closed I stretched out my arms and contacted the powers, that will transport me across time and space. I felt the energy filling me and then a short weird emotion. I appeared right next to this beautiful cathedral were I will now enter and will meet brother Nikolei, who may be able to tell me what brought me to that strange place I have been.

Ds106 Sweeties looking for Adoptive Parents

Storytelling Within the Web.

Creating this page was fun (:

 

If you do not know them look here.

 

Since I have started using the internet and came up to lists of photographs supplied with names, I had the idea of making some design of this. While looking at these lists I always get the feeling of lost individuals in a crowded world, maybe looking for other individuals.

 

Recently I came across a page of the London Zoo, which asks for Adoptive Parents for some of their animals. I have made the link between lists of people, and lists of zoo animals and because this assignment is for ds106, I used a list of ds106 people.

 

NO DEEPER REASON TO USE ANY OF YOU!

 

It is meant to be the weekly create assignment 'Storytelling Within the Web'

 

I used the tool X-Ray-Googles, which was mentioned by Alan Levine on his Week 9: Stories in/of the Web page.

This tool is really easy to use. I have clicked on the images of the animals and just changed the image URL. The little images of people who are in some way involved to ds106 I got, while using the hash tag ds106 on twitter and by choosing the option 'People'.
