Instructions: Using google maps take a pic of you "walking" somewhere you wish you could be.
The idea is that you can visit a place without actually having been there. Your virtual self is an entity and thats is still part of you. By placing a bit of yourself somewhere via a pic from the internet, you have been there. You have participated in that place.
It can be interesting as a collaboration because we can use pics not only form Google Maps but from friends' and strangers' albums according to which Google dictates belong on it's map. We are inserting ourselves into places and moments we wish we were in.
Putting the date and time you accessed Google maps makes your virtual self and your actual self one and the same. You were there at that time.
