Pixels, pixels everywhere.
February 23, 2009
Am loving this analog pixel art using crayons by Christian Faur. What I first read as an approximation of digital glitching/artifacting, in the form of patterns of off-color pixels thrown in throughout, turns out to be a steganographic cipher, hiding messages within the images. Each image has a letter/color mapping key at the bottom left.
I also want to see them from the side; something about the additional dimensionality is intriguing to me. One could even imagine making crayon voxels, with different crayons worn down to different heights to make further use of the z-axis…
