a challenge to any Doper who thinks they can do it

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Ok, this IS MPSIMS, the perfect place for a pointless challenge.

Can anyone create, entirely on their own, a full page post picture?
For example, a portrait of George Washington literally made of ones and zeros? (If youre an X Files fan, there is an episode where some kid makes a huge mosaic of 1 & 0’s. From the top of the kid’s house stairs, Scully sees it is the portrait of a womans face.) Can anyone do that kind of thing here, in a post? No cheating please, such as C&P, or some program designed to do such imaging, or a link to such an image. I’m not talking about silly little “pictures” like Ô¿Ô and so on, either. I mean something substantial, a real portrait. If you pull it off, your reward is the awe of all other Dopers. I would say try for in image approximately 150 characters wide by 150 char. high, so it will fit in the post without distortion.

Fire up that keyboard and let’s see what you can give us!

Is that the guy who couldn’t cash a check at the art store?

:smiley:

Well I was thinking of doing a Jasper Johns piece. But, I’m lazy. And I’ve always like Robert Rauschenberg’s work. They have a bit of it at SFMOMA

4

Snort!!! Pink grapefruit juice just flew out my nose!!

5

Is that piece called The Blizzard?

6

It’s I believe untitled white canvas #5 or something of the sort. You can go read about Rauschenburg in a lot of places on the Web. Quite influential on Minamlism. So, MSK where the hell is my awe. I just checked the P.O. BOX and it hasn’t arrived yet.

sigh… always have to be smartasses here

I’ll give it a shot.
But it’ll be a while, I’m swamped. I’ll let you know!

Doh! It looks better if it’s not double-spaced. :slight_smile:

12

Well, this looks like this is turning into the ASCII art thread

If I recall correctly the picture is of his sister (the little boys not Mulder’s) that was in the 0’s and 1’s. I thought that was way cool.
