The Art-Project Idea of the Year award goes to The Glue Society, an arts collective based in Sydney, Australia. As it goes, The Glue Society had the stroke of genius to take a few of the best stories of the bible, those that before only existed as Sunday School fodder, into entirely factual events as proven by modern technology. They’ve managed to visualize these biblical milestones vis à vis God, or else some dude fucking around on Google Earth.It’s genius really, if you think about it, bringing together the tech-savvy heathens and the bible-thumping righteous in an evocative call to arms. And the images, as you can see, are entirely haunting. Probably not unlike the actual events, had they really happened.
Also, if you have a thing for being amused, check out their website as well. It’ll bring back you back to your 8-bit youth in no time.
