Applying three-dimensional video technology to one of the great masterpieces of 20th century art, computer graphic artist Lena Gieseke has brought new perspective to Pablo Picasso's Guernica.

The late-cubist oil on canvas was inspired by the German-Italian bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War in the late 30s. The original work is on display in Madrid’s Museo Reina Sofia. A full-size (26 ft wide/11 ft tall) tapestry replica also hangs outside the United Nations Security Council chamber.
