Art of the Living Dead

The Glue Society, a creative collective of writers, designers, art directors and film directors based in Sydney and New York are perhaps best known for "God's Eye View", Google Earth's shots of classic Biblical scenes.

In another project entitled "Living Dead", The Glue Society approached psychic mediums to use their skills to contact dead artists, asking them to create new work.

Brett Whitely, Degas, Van Gogh, John Lennon and Pablo Picasso were among the artists that responded and produced drawings via the psychics.

Images from some of the contacted artists can be found on The Glue Society website by clicking "The Work," "Art," and "Living Dead."

as much as...

I'd like to laugh at this its really rather cool, whether the dead are really responsible, the spirits of ancestors seep into this time through the emulation of style brought on by hyperfocus based on ritual.

Gods Eye View

I also thought the God's Eye View project was pretty interesting. Using a very simple idea, they put an unusual modern twist to some of the Bible's most famous passages.

Wow

Those God's Eye View images are stunning. What a great concept.
