Back in July, the Creative Review blog posted an entry regarding an art exhibit that imagines scenes from the bible as seen via Google Earth.

The entry's author quotes James Dive, one of the artists from the collective responsible for the work as saying, "As a method of representation satellite photography is so trusted, it has been interesting to mess with that trust.”

With that in mind, it's particularly interesting to read the comments on his entry, which range from head-scratching as to whether they got the time of day right for the crucifixion to a condemnation of "the ‘art’ of discrediting a trusted source like satellite imaging, with lies and deceit."

And here I was, thinking it was pretty cute to look up my address on Google Earth to see how bad my yard looked when the photo was taken! (Thanks to Jodi Egerton to alerting me to this topic.)
