Month: July 2020

One of the nicest things I’ve seen come along on the interwebz for awhile,  Window Swap (a quarantine project by Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam) lets us watch a rotation of videos taken from people’s windows around the world.  And you can submit your own, either at Window-Swap’s own website, or via Vimeo as instructed.  Follow @windowswap at Instagram.

I like to “cast” these things from Google Chrome using its Chromecast feature, so the videos are projected to our living TV screen, but they should be viewable on any device via a browse to the Windows-Swap.com site.

Most I have seen so far show quiet scenes of solitude, sometimes with a cat or dog making its appearance and leaves gently blowing or birds flying by, or streetscapes or landscapes.  Each is identified as to the first name of the person hosting the window view and its city and country.  Here are some samples, albeit they are screen capture stills for illustration, not the motion videos of the real thing.
