Google Earth example Artists

I have updated my google earth project with a comment that serves as a commentary on the piece. In addition to that I would like to point out two artists who inspired the work. The first is Evert Schut, who is a scientist AND an artist. That alone inspires me but the man's work is also amazing. He is a painter who paints landscapes from a perspective only visible to him via Google Earth. His work and philosophy surround Google Earth and art can be viewed here: http://googleearthart.blogspot.com/ The other is a Colorado art professor who's blog I encountered in my research and gave me the idea to give the new perspective that Schut talks about to my daily commute. The artists name is David Schaal and in his post 'psychogeographic vblog' he displays a person, looking bored agains what looks like a daily routine gps track. You can view this piece here: http://www.davidschaal.net/ and afterwards will likely see parallels with my piece.
