Physical Pixel Art

For this week’s assignment, we were asked to make a physical pixel image. After some thought, I landed on the idea of punching holes in a piece of paper to slowly create my image. For me, the piece’s production was just as interesting as the final, so I decided to create a short video. 

To my surprise, my favorite part of the entire piece is the sound of the pencil breaking through. 

Below are two versions of the piece the full uncut “performance” and a sped-up version.
