Greatly reducing a digital image in size, transforming the shape of the displayed colour information, then reducing the original colour information within that shape to a single colour provides the viewer with a whole new experience. Or is it? In a sense, it's like returning to the early days of low resolution digital photography where modern-day hyperrealist detail was just a dream. But doesn't such a rudimentary pointillist image (created with an app called 'LED Photo') invite us to imagine more? I much prefer the texture, rawness and tactility of an image in which one can indeed see the underlying pixels—like dabs of paint on a canvas.
