The Glue Society

So I stumbled upon some work by the Glue Society from australia. They recently won an award for their work called "The bible according to google earth". I'm really keen on this project and I think it works really well, as it takes on the basic principles of 2 mediums/ideas and combines them, which is essentially how funny situations are described. A bad example, such as, a reindeer in the sahara dessert, would be funny... (to some people).

Anyway, what the glue society have done is used google earth's medium of birds eye photography, and recreated some key-scenes/ story's taken from the Bible.

Adam & Eve.



Moses parting the sea.



Those are 2 of the 4 that the firm came up with. Its so simple but so effective. I guess we all have an idea or our own, a personalised picture of how things would have looked. Our own, personalised image of Adam & Eve, the only people on earth, covered up only with leaves. And when we're given what we could possibly believe to be real, a real photograph from google earth. A photograph that... is as real as it could get??? hah, fantastic!!!

Check out the Glue society's website too, its wicked. Everything is of an extreme scale on that website. Everything's so bright and playful. You feel like a child in a playground again.
