The Garden of Eden photograph uses images from Belgium.Ĭreative Review: The Bible According to Google Earth, quotes James Dove from Glue Society: The picture of the Red Sea, for example, uses photographs of Niagara Falls to create the impression of tonnes of foaming water. Kneebone described the four pictures as digital “jigsaw puzzles” made by piecing together real satellite images. “We’re playing with the whole idea that if you can capture something from a satellite it must exist.” “Art has always depicted religious events and this is simply a new way to do it,” he said.

The project, God’s Eye View, was produced by Sydney-based creative team The Glue Society, commissioned by Eric Romano of Pulse Art, New York, for its Miami art fair. A Google-Earth-view of Biblical events was presented at an art installation in Miami last week, showing the Garden of Eden, Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the crucifixion of Jesus.
