GOOGLE EARTH ART: going tot next level.
Anyone with a computer and internet connection can use Google Earth to fly anywhere on earth and see what’s down there with a birds-eye, or maybe even gods-eye view. Amazing new perspectives are the result! Google Earth is not just a high tech map or geographical mapping device. It is a powerful new idea, a way of thinking which will have it's impact on the world. While the internet is a major force in connecting people, Google Earth is connecting us to our planet. A growing number of people are learning to look at our planet in a different way. We are finally beginning to understand how this planet is alive, how this living system works but also the damage we're doing to it. I’m not just painting a new kind of landscape, I’m rethinking the meaning of landscape art. This is a story in paint about a place and its significance for the way the planet works and what that means to me. I like to think of it as a deeper level to Google Earth.......
My weblog http://googleearthart.blogspot.com describes my ideas, new paintings, and… other Google Earth (or satellite) artists. I'm not the only artist who has been struck by the meaning of Google Earth, neither was I the first. On my weblog there are links to artists with the same idea. Is it a new art movement? We’ll see.
