Heads up, San Francisco residents — there might be a picture of your house on Twitter.
Meet Every Lot SF, a project by artist and urban planner Neil Freeman. The bot goes through every individual parcel in San Francisco and posts an image of the lot from Google maps, in tax ID order.
— every lot sf October 20, 2022Every Lot SF is one of four bots that perform the same program in four major US cities: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. Together, they form the body of Freeman's work, a collection called"Fake is the new real." which has been ongoing since 2000. "Google has cars, cameras, and computation; The City has tax clerks, history and legal authority. These two mapping systems are vast and difficult to visualize. By pairing them, the bots reveal moments of disharmony in the two approaches," wrote Freeman on his website.
The bots have an open source software library, which makes it possible for new iterations of the Every Lot bots to be created by anyone. A number of Every Lot bots have sprang up in towns along the Rust Belt, all inspired by Freeman's work.
