The original Cosmos had a great episode on life at different scales, and the magnitude you’d have to view earth at to so see evidence of life.
Before that, there were the Eames with their great “Powers of Ten” film.

I mean, who cares, but it's worth being aware that large photographic prints are acceptable as art, and, actually, photorealistic painting is often considered pretty cheesy. Here's an example of a photographer whose (troubling?) work takes the form of very large aerial photos of feedlots: https://mishkahenner.com/Feedlots https://mishkahenner.com/Feedlots
