This is a short video by Páraic McGloughlin composed of thousands of Google Earth images. A brief look at the earth from above, based on the shapes we make, the game of life, our playing ground - Arena. [Photosensitivity warning: flashing imagery.]

Wow. It's interesting to re-watch it, full screen, and just hit pause now and then to see the details.

That was really cool, even though I had to soften my focus so I didn't get a headache. I'd love to see something similar with images of the natural world.

Cool! Reminds me of the pioneering work of Canadian animator Norman McLaren.
