This is really spectacular, and very well done.  It's a tribute to what's possible with small, powerful computing devices.  The black and white photography makes it even more compelling.

It reminds me in a way of this manual effort prank, where two guys inside a van with a camera photoshop people at a bus stop into the advertisement in front of them; funny to see people as they notice they're in the advert.  Freaky too, in a cyberstalking kind of way.
