Pixilation has been around for many of decades, you may remember playing classic games like:
Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, Street Fighter, Ninja Turtles, or Zelda
Back in the day they didn’t have very good graphics for some of their entrainment, so a lot of the gaming systems produced disappointing products.
Do You Remember these Systems:
Its crazy how they use what they had back then to create entertainment for the children, because now days ever thing is so high tech. The games they are producing now are less pixelated with better graphics to where the fridges almost looks real…
They even have a game today that is very pixdelated it is called “Minecraft”
- Pixilation: is a image that is enlarged as far as it can, so that the viewer can see the individual pixels that form the image. Also the enlarging the image will have no further detail which gives it a distortion effect.
Photographer who might have the camera slighty out of focus or any angry person who try’s to make a image small or larger might run in tho this problem.
This is also a technique that can be applied and unapplied by programs like Photoshop, GIMP,Pixelmator, and etc.
Like the “Fujiya & Miyagi: Ankle Injuries” music video that Nil showed us in class , it shows pixillations and found objects throughout the whole entire music video.
This video is a great example for our upcoming project, building portraits out of found objects.

I like this post for two reasons. The first is because it relates to this project, and second because I love video games! I especially like old school video games like mario. Pixels can create the most simplistic rendering of an image, and when completely reduced can create very interesting forms of art like the portraits we see, created from small objects. Even the smallest, simplest things can create something extraordinary.
