A post at jesusshaped.wordpress.com encouraged me to do some digging to see what I could find for different pictorial representations of Christ. This one was the coolest that I could find. It shows many different views of Jesus morphing from one to the next.
If you have a high speed connection you might also be interested in downloading a second video. (It is 8 megabytes in size.) This quicktime video shows Jesus as he has been depicted chronologically through the centuries.
Here is what the original artist of the second video had to say:
The inspiration came from an installation artist i knew in Hamburg. It followed one of his rambled musings: that throughout the centuries, artists have created many representations of Jesus. We all have a different mental picture of what Christ looks like. Yet the same eyes are always looking back at us. So fixing his eyes as the focal point, i used a morphing software to blend between various images of Christ. Chronologically they go from the 6th Century mosaic to a 1998 artwork.
