Today, I've seen several awesome things:
> Anamorphosis by the Quay Brothers to expand upon the method used by Renaissance painters to embed symbolic images into paintings.
A famous example, Holbein's The Ambassadors, where a skull is found at the bottom.
A still from the Quay Brothers' animated short film, Anamorphosis:
> Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights...
...turned into a metal music video by Buckethead:
> Some paintings I forgot that I love so much by Pieter Breugel the Elder:
The Hunters in the Snow
The Corn Harvest or The Harvesters?
The Tower of Babel
I love the awkward perspective and flatness in the paintings, and the colors (though we have to take internet reproductions with a grain of salt)!If anyone is interested or wondering, this material was shown in Claire Daigle's ARTH 101 course at the San Francisco Art Institute, Spring 2008.

I saw the top one by Holbein in London. I think it is the creepiest painting ever. Actually there are a lot of creepy paintings out there...
I like the architecturalization of the tower of babel. They must have thought heaven wasn't very far off...
I missed this before but it also totally looks like the hunters are hunting the ice skaters! (Was there ice skating back then?)
I think there needs to be a new interpretation of art written based on viewing things over the internet.
Such as: VanGouhg's use of pixilization to reference depth and the muted colors as seen on the slightly older screen you got for free from your old room mate....
