Photomosaic: How did it all start?
Art never stops progressing. It is a craft that develops itself throughout time, yet still honors its roots. People evolved and their understanding of beauty and storytelling evolved with them. From craving minimalistic figures in caves in order to to capture a certain message centuries later, new generations were coming up with modernized forms of art with a similar concept, such as painting, filmmaking, photography, etc. And just like that, many artistic techniques evolved as the world around us was shape-shifting. One of the most ancient art techniques which was used by different cultures and religious subgroups was mosaic. It is a form of art including assembling pictures by placing hundreds of small colorful pieces of either stone, glass or ceramic together. With a simple understanding of shading, and color theory, artists were able to delight thousands of audiences with their masterpieces. Yet, time passed and with the rise of digital media, mosaic also found itself in a new modernized form called Photomosaic.
The pioneer of photographic mosaic was Robert Silvers, a 27 years old MIT graduate who developed an algorithm that was able to organize digital photo files into one utter image, back in 1995. From that point on, many artists got out of their comfort zone of standard art mediums and expanded their horizons into a digital realm of the craft.
Assembling many small pieces into one final product is a very interesting and creative process, which requires skills and dedication. Gladly, our designers will help you out with the procedure. All that is required from a client who would want a professionally made photo mosaic is a set of pictures (no more than 200 files) and a description of what they would like to get in the end.
