Dead Pixel in Google Earth

By Queuebot in Art, Blogs & Internet on Apr 16, 2009 at 5:46 pm

Dutch conceptual artist Helmut Smits (blogged before on Neatorama here) came up with this idea: a "Dead Pixel" in Google Earth that is actually 82 cm x 82 cm (~ 2¾ sq. ft.) square of scorched earth – the size of a pixel from the altitude of 1 km!

    I created a similar piece of work when I poured a pad for my gas barbaque.

    Might have been cooler if he made it white with a red X in the corner. lol

    With a lot of conceptual art, it’s often better not to conceive.

    I thought it was a very clever idea; it would be tubular if the “dead pixel” was visible on Google Earth.
