Manetone
Tim Fraser Brown has done a charming peice with Sam Hall, Alex Wooley, Amy Knowles and Andy Kidd took Manet’s Bar at the Folies Bergere and reproduced it using a grid of over five thousand Pantone swatch chips. It ends up as a kind of contemporary pixelated sort of impressionism just stopping short of digitization. This technique could – and probably should – be applied to some other paintings too. Come on Tim, why stop there?

Hi, I'm Raj Patel. Nice to meet you. I'm a writer, photographer, film producer, avid reader, gamer, architect, programmer, artist, community manager, and general nerd.
Here at Ohmpage I try to cover the news and trends at the intersection between technology and culture. In practice this means you get a lot of high-tech, new-media, type of fun stuff (the stuff that interests me) presented to you. I surf hard so you don't have to.
If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me or follow me on twitter. I'm always happy to talk.
