Those looking for entertainment during the lean months of summer TV might want to check out the HBO Voyeur Project:
Welcome to the HBO Voyeur Project – a multimedia experience that gives you a peek into what happens behind the countless windows we pass everyday. Whether you choose to experience it online or on HBO on Demand, the HBO Voyeur Project illustrates the underlying truth that sometimes the most revealing stories are the ones you weren’t meant to see.
You can see the project at HBO.com and HBO On Demand. Basically, it’s a collection of silent films (with pretty good music) that capture the intertwining stories of everyday life. In one area, you can watch eight Manhattan apartments all at once, or zoom in on one or two apartments to see the goings on. To catch all the action, you might want to watch the whole film more than once. (It only runs five minutes, so it’s not a big deal.) There are also a few other apartments around the city that all have fairly creepy storylines. The other apartments appear to be online only; I couldn’t find them in HBO On Demand.
HBO has always been on the forefront of creative television, and this project is no different. It’s an interesting experiment, to say the least.
