If Leonardo Da Vinci were to be alive in our days, he would have painted his masterpiece pixelating it. Ok, you lose all the details, but squeezing your eyes you will still be able to see Mona Pixa’s Smile (first image). I managed to index the color palette, allowing diffusion so to match original colors. The result is a new pattern that adds to the original checkers (second image). You can download a hi-res version, to be printed at the original size of the painting (GIF, 1.8MB). As you can see in this enlargement of the smile (third image) details are back! By the way, I’m not the first to discretize Mona Lisa. Link to this article

In 2006 the Crack! comic convention released the catalog of the previous edition. Artists were asked to produce new material signing a creative commons license. I didn’t sign anything, that’s what my drawing was about (in the meanwhile I’ve changed my mind, see the footer of this page). Download version for high quality printing (1.8MB).

In 2006 the Crack! comic convention was dedicated to italian artist Stefano Tamburini, father of Ranxerox. I was invited to make my contribution, delivering this vectorial drawing inspired to Tamburini’s xerox manipulations (see Snake Agent, third image). You can download the AutoCAD code (127KB, plot any size), and a GIF file (print A4 size,508KB) of my entry. Link to this article

Scanning my disk I found this small sample of 3D animation (workflow goes from Autocad to Flash via Lightwave). A microscopic battleship under attack (flash animation, 150KB). Related links: Fantastic Voyage, Nanotechnology. OMICRON was the provisional name for the ZYMACHI saga. PLACEBOT was discarded too.

Here’s an idea for an art show. Giant letters in different fonts are coupled on the wall. Visitors are invited to recognize themselves in the display. An effort of symbolization. Link to this article
