pr0nt1n65: hyper-pixelated porn images –> art

Snipped from Mt. Molelog:

pr0nt1n65: Very low-res oil paintings that, from a distance, appear to be pornographic. Up close, they're just squares of color, though. So where's the smut — on the canvas, or in our heads? If the answer is the latter, then where's the smut on a computer or TV screen, which is just the same thing, but with better resolution? There are now prints available (hallelujah!). Mind you, these are "giclee prints", which seems to be art-world speak for "ink-jet printout" — so, these are high-resolution automated digitally pixellated versions of low-resolution manually analog pixellated versions of porn scenes.

"When I was 8 or 9 years old, I acquired a split beaver magazine. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon examination of the photos with a microscope, I found that all I could see was dots."
