  Using content strictly from Google Earth, this film documents the growth of tent cities over the course of ten months following the devastating earthquake of January 2010. Examining Google Earth as a manifestation of public knowledge and awareness, the video attempts to make parallels between the rapid population of space in the digital realm of Google Earth as well in the harsh reality of what is actually developing in Port-au-Prince.
