Pixelated Sculpture
I was checking out Radiohead’s new music when I came across one of their videos’ for House of Cards that I had not seen. Besides liking the song, I was intrigued with the pixelated portrait of Thom York singing. Normally the music for Kick-Starting the Weekend posts is inspired by the post but in this case, it is the music video that made me think of these pixelated sculptures that I had seen on Crooked Brains — a great resource for sometime on my sidebar.
Read further how artist Shawn Smith creates these three dimensional sculptures using 3/4″ x 3/4″ painted cubes to replicate the image as if it was in digital pixels. This brings the digital format to life. There is so much more on the artist’s website as well. He describes his creative process via this 3 minute video link and the painstaking detail in creating his sculpture — fascinating — sounds like artist heaven to me.
Here’s Radiohead’s House of Cards to Kick-Start-the Weekend.
