Google's Copyright Policy Spawns Mega-Meta Art From China http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

The Google Art Project allows art enthusiasts to visit distant museums online by scanning them with the same 15-lens camera rigs used by Google Street View. Due to copyright restrictions, however, certain paintings needed to be blurred, just like faces are in GSV. British artist Phil Thompson makes screen grabs of the blurred images in his browser window, sends them to the Dafen Oil Painting Village in China and then exhibits the painting in their own gallery.
