God's Eye View

In an age where we can plan our journeys and travels through satellite imagery provided by Google, it takes quite a lot to wow us. You may think that parting the Red Sea would be impossible but the people over at Glue Society in Sydney have done just that!

Through photo-manipulation and hours of hard-work they have digitally altered images, to recreate biblical scenes such as:

• Moses and the parting of the Red Sea
• Noah’s Ark
• Christ’s Crucifiction
• Garden of Eden

The ‘satellite pictures’ are currently on show at an art fair in Miami. However, these pieces of art do not come at a small price with each set setting you back $36,000 USD.

Although some may see this as religious controversy, co-founder Jonathan Kneebone would argue otherwise. He said “it was a way to play with the whole idea that if you can capture something from a satellite it must exist”. He further explains that the images were put together like digital “jigsaw puzzles” made from collated images of Niagara Falls to create an illusion of the Red Sea parting.

Either way, we at Score think they’ve definately pulled these ones off! True modern day masterpeices expressing real originality through art and technology.
