Visual Art Camouflage Paintings Made by Censorship
Posted by Jen Graves on Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 1:21 PM
When the Dutch government didn't want Google Earth showing satellite images of military installations, it censored them—stylishly, in camo, as if they were paintings-by-number.
Greg Allen plans to paint them (isn't there a digital way? he asks), and he posts a number of the enticing-looking things, with a further link to even more of them here.
This is my favorite, the plump treetops almost indistinguishable from the bloaty dots.

Gosh! I just love paint by number paintings but I didn't know one could make a career of it and have it seriously regarded as art. Amazing!

They should get the guys who digitally removed the Gates property on Mercer Island from Google Maps to do the same thing for them.

Weird...I feel like I somehow put you guys in touch. I'm a regular reader of Greg's Daddytypes and forward him on relevant info from time to time. Your article on male pregnancy and review from the current Western Bridge show included.
