Goollery is an online gallery of Google-related projects from people around the world. There are a number of categories: Google Brand, Search, Maps, Earth, Image Search Chrome, SketchUp, Translate, Android, and YouTube. Within each category there is a variety of projects. For example, under search I found, a painting project that had the Google search page done in the styles of Miro and van Gogh, as well as several original themes by Valéry Grancher, France.
Under maps, there is Ohio Piano. There are 88 counties in Ohio and 88 keys on a keyboard. With Ohio Piano, the state map is turned into a piano that you can play with two pre-programmed melodies. It is by Andy Woodruff, Cambridge, Massachusetts. There is also British Art From the Tate that allows you to explore locations of paintings within the Tate with Street View depicted in a special selection of Tate artworks. You can discover how urban and rural environments have changed, and the views painted by artists such as Turner and Constable are now lost. It is by www.svmapplets.com.
In another Google maps project. Artist Bill Guffey from Kentucky painted scenes from around the world that he saw with Google Street View. Word Magazine UK created a project where iconic album cover photographs are mapped via Google Maps. I could go on but you get the idea. It contains some very creative work.
