Pixel is Data – Live

Pixel is Data goes live!

Based on PixelisData.org's iOS and Mac brews of the Pixel is Data application, we designed a little brother that updates in real time: pick a photo or take one using your FaceTime or USB camera, and it will automagically translate to a new piece of art – yours! – that is a reinterpretation of the pixel data contained in the original image. Change the parameters (mess, density, pattern…) via code or simple buttons and sliders to tweak your work before saving it.

Exhibited during the Fête du code créatif, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (March 2017).
