Helmut Smits has created a lovely installation of a “dead pixel” in Google Earth by burning a 82cm x 82cm square in the ground, which happens to be the size of one pixel from an altitude of 1 km.

Hm…it would need to be twice the size in each dimension to be sure that it didn’t overlap with pixel borders and thereby guarantee at least one truly dead pixel on the map.
I’d like to see an installation where a section of the earth was reduced to pixellated 8-bit color.
