Bop Spotter: “a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below”

This is right on the line of creepy surveillance and interesting public art project. I kind of like the idea but not a fan of the fact that it’s recording in stealth. I wish it were more transparent about it. Most people wouldn’t care anyway and it removes some of the discomfort of listening in on a bunch of strangers.
