Photogs Mix Google Street View and Light Painting to Show Off Concert Venue

What happens when you give a bunch of skaters, some photographers and a light painter free reign to create a Street View tour of a French concert venue/cultural hotspot? We’ll give you a hint, it’s similar to what a French ski shop did for its virtual tour.

The business in question is La Bifurk in Grenoble, France, and when you take Street View into their humble establishment, you’ll find all manner of light-painting shenanigans going on.

Unlike the ski shop, it seems this project was actually authorized by Google itself. Photographers Damien Leleux and Nicolas Bernard of Odoxo were given leave to work with light painter Jadikan and shoot as creative a virtual tour as they would like.

Here are a few screencaps that show what turned out:

If you want to tour the establishment yourself, just click here. When you first enter, you’ll be in the concert venue part of La Bifurk — it’s not until the skate park in the back that you get to the interesting stuff, so be sure to keep on moving.

And if you like this, don’t forget to browse that French ski shop as well.
