By happenstance or design, Google’s world-crawling streetview camera famously witnesses crimes, disasters, phenomenal islands of temporality in a sea of geographical documentation. But when I spend time in Google Earth, I’m entranced not by the easter-egg serendipity of such moments, but by the stratigraphy of moments piling up out of time. In using Google Earth, we treat these atemporal mappings as noise; I prefer to think of them as the signal.

The Finest Google Earth Easter Eggs - Rebecca Greenfield

To break the programming monotony, the computer geeks over at Google like to put inside jokes in their creations, known as Easter Eggs. For Google Earth, however, each building for the 3D building feature is hand designed and submitted by non-Google folk. And it looks like they too have senses of humor, as a few Easter Eggs pop up from time to time. Here are some of the best ones made by these independent building designers, including the newest one.

Google Street View Easter Egg

And it has surfaced now – it’s called Street With a View. From the project description: On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team and residents of Pittsburgh’s Northside to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Street View technicians captured 360-degree photographs of the street with the scenes in action and integrated the images into the Street View mapping platform. You can view the street on Google Maps or see a couple of photos at the Google Sightseeing blog. Another, older sort-of Easter Egg in Street View is the Google employees posing near-by their headquarters in Mountain View, California. Yet another surprise in Google Maps is that when you search for niniane, you’ll end up in Mountain View as well, the info blurb reading “Niniane Kicks Ass!”.
