Interesting, but silly. You need some angle on the overhead view so you know what building it is. You can't recognise buildings by their roofs.

I assume he's taking stitching artifacts from Google Maps and making mockups of what they might look like from the ground. It's a bit hard to see that at first because Street View exists. Note that the vantage points from the ground are where pedestrians might plausibly go.
That's it exactly. She's taken stuff from her photo portfolio and warped it to match the Maps aerial photography. It's brilliant! But it probably has more impact for me since it's where I'm living and I've seen many of these buildings quite recently.
The Google maps views are pretty good for what I would assume is an automated (or mostly automated) stitching process; locally consistent, and the discontinuities seem to occur between buildings.

#13is it google maps or is it what buildings do when you're not looking?
Don't blink
Or sneeze. Ever noticed how occasionally, every single person on a street sneezes at exactly the same time? I've practiced keeping my eyes open during a sneeze to try to see what the buildings don't want us to see, but no luck yet :|
