information aesthetics.Where form follows data.
Piece together for Peace [graflexdirections.com] is a neat project that rotates and pans around parts of the world map to visually form life-like animals, ranging from a cow over a dog to a horse.

That's pretty nifty. I wonder if it was all composited by hand or if there were algorithms at work.
Awesome, Very Creative. Love the horse and the lamb... not a fan of rats.
Rats are cool!
You forgot to mention that the animals depicted are the ones from the Chinese zodiac.
@Fallopia - My girlfriend had pet rats as a kid but I couldn't imagine. I had enough trouble accepting a hamster my parents gave me :)
@Eugene - Good observation!
Hehehe, it's not actually an observation. That's what I read when I encountered these mapped animals a few months ago. :-)
