A German artist literally hacked Google Maps—no code needed! 😲 He wheeled around a cart carrying 99 smartphones, all running Google Maps, down an empty street. The result? Google Maps thought there was a massive traffic jam and turned the street red! 🛑
No cars. Just one man, a cart, and a clever idea that exposed how our digital world can be tricked by something as simple as... walking with phones.
Proof that sometimes, the best hacks don’t require hacking — just creativity. 🎨💡

This is a brilliant example of creative subversion, turning a system’s logic against itself using its own rules. The artist, Simon Weckert, essentially “hacked” perception, not code.
