If the Urban Cursor—a giant cursor that captures its movements in Google Maps using GPS—worked in real life, I would use it to minimize Afghanistan, maximize Sweden, and drag and drop some parts of Madrid to the trashcan.


Urban Cursor is an art installation by Danish designer Sebastian Campion. He made it for the festival Ingràvid in Figueres, Spain. As people moved it, sitting on top, the GPS recorded the motion, sending the coordinates to Google Maps and publishing photos. [Urban Cursor via Design Boom]
