0.048 Mona Lisa

1998

Process

I had am image of the Mona Lisa, but it was encoded it in MIME format (an e-mail encryption). I accidentally sent it to the printer and is started printing. It would have came out as 104 pages if I had not stopped it. 5 pages (or 0.048 of the original text) were presented in 5 frames in a diagonal direction that suggests the vanishing lines used to indicate perspective by 15th century Illusionist painters. I submitted it to a gallery in Marin for a show entitled "Digital Art '99," but it was not accepted.
