From New York City to Beijing, a team of artists are shedding light on what the world would be like at the end of humanity.

In Silent World, artists Lucie and Simon have taken the world's most familiar and populous cities and removed all but one or two people to create the illusion of a lonely world.

In the thought-provoking work, places like the normally bustling Times Square and Tiananmen Square appear absent of their crowds.

Not just no zombies but, here in the absence of humanity, the neon lights of Times Square are apparently running themselves...

Totally unrealistic “end of world” paintings. Completely lacking trash, dead bodies, burning tires and smoke, and, last but not least, tumbleweeds.

Times Square actually looks tolerable in that picture.

An oldie but a goodie.

My campers used to call “Arts and Crafts,” “Farts and Craps.” I couldn’t argue with them. And I’m an artist.

A world devoid of people. The ultimate Leftist wet dream.

LOL!

I’m gonna enjoy reading your post when I have more time, but Fuhgawdsakes, art is the only playing field that’s level; where destruction of the enemy is immediate and assured and so thoroughly satisfying!

This graph must be yours, then:

Looks like an enviro-weenie’s wet dream, doesn’t it?

They didn’t even have to do any modifications for Detroit.

[WoofDog123]

there actually should be abandoned vehicles everywhere, and a lot more vandalism/destruction.

Bingo

[Mad Dawgg]

"there actually should be abandoned vehicles everywhere, and a lot more vandalism/destruction."

And Zombies, don't forget the Zombies.

[Romulus]

It’s accurate. I’ve been there, driven those utterly empty highways — in New Orleans, after Katrina.
