MOSAIC

A project that brings together art and technology. Mosaic allows you to pixelate real images with the color range of your choosing. It is programmed with Grasshopper and you can download the definition so you can recreate any picture you want. At the MediaLab we have applied the algorithm to decorate our entrance hall in the Gijón Campus at the University of Oviedo.

The Gioconda at the MediaLab
It is considered the most famous painting in history and the MediaLab wanted to pay homage to its painter, Leonardo da Vinci. He was the best example of a renaissance humanist. He was an inventor, an engineer, an architect, a painter, an anatomist, a music, and a sculptor. The MediaLab considers him an example of the enriching benefits of bringing together humanism and technology. The mosaic is at the entrance hall in the Edificio Polivalente and it is made of 3,712 35mm cardboard squares in just 8 different colors.
WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PROJECT
