Both of these are interactive collages created by the artist Joe Hamilton.  I enjoyed these two pieces because I feel like it was evocative and articulated a point in a creative way.

The first link is a collage of photographic material the artist took while he was traveling between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. He overlays ariel view images with close-up images and brush strokes. The user moves through the collage themselves which is very cool. The intent of this piece is supposedly a tribute to ‘green-energy’ which is apparent in the photos of the massive solar panels and the Hoover Dam as well in the color contrast of the blue water.
