It's Geo-Logical!

With the recent popularity of Google Earth and worldwide accessability of gps and topographical maps, we’re finally starting to see some artistic applications of geological information. One of the best examples of such artistry comes from Fluidforms, an Austrian company that translates this information into beautiful objects. Simply give them a zip code and they’ll create a 3D representation of your requested locale. I will soon be the owner (and ruthless dictator) of my very own tiny hometown. Geo-nius! Okay, I guess it doesn’t work for all applications.
