The unique Traffic Cam Photobooth (TCP) website allows users to take selfies with traffic cams in different locations, expanding from New York to Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, and even Ireland. The artist behind TCP, Morry Kolman, received a cease-and-desist letter from the NYC Department of Transportation, claiming the project encourages dangerous behavior. Despite this, Kolman attached the letter to a pole and took photos of it with traffic cams, showcasing the interactive nature of surveillance tech. Kolman, a software engineer, turned multimedia artist, has explored various creative projects, including developing a site based on an advice forum and creating a parody NFT. An interesting feature of TCP is its privacy safeguards, making it a fun and shareable experience for users.
