new palette for pixel 4

pixel palette
32 x 1 pixels browser rendered to 400 x 25 pixels

In reality this browser rendered palette is just 32x1 pixels representing the now 32 colours in the new palette. Here it is at normal size:

I promise you it is there!

This palette introduces four new levels of saturation for each colour (except for black and white). So now we have six base colours with five variations in saturation (6x5=30) plus black and white (2) giving a total of 32 base pixels.

The browser rendered (and enlarged) palette shows more due to the rendering process mixing adjacent colours. This gives a good idea of how adjacent pixels will be mixed in the browser rendered enlargements to come.

More random images to come soon...

The original 2 x 2 pixel images can be browser rendered to any size. Here we have nine randomly selected 2 x 2 images each rendered at 100 x 100 pixels by your browser and arranged as a 3 x 3 grid.

The size of the render and the specific browser used to render and view them will introduce subtle variations in the outcome.

A larger render can be found at revad.com.

a-n beyond graduation blog is dead

I have killed my a-n beyond graduation blog and it will only resurface if or when I am working an appropriate project. In the mean-time this blog will remain active with the (now) usual mix of random and considered posts!

pixel 4 update

All pixel 4 images have been reduced from 400 x 400 to 200 x 200 pixels.

All original images remain 2 x 2 pixels.

Browser rendering reduced to 100x magnification from 200x magnification.

Further updates may yet occur!

The image displayed will be dependent on the image rendering engine of your chosen browser. There are (at this level) subtle differences that make this worth checking out in say: Firefox 3 and IE8.

More soon...

As described within the work installed at redbubble.

"A brief line of enquiry triggered by two events.

First a suggestion made on a PM&B forum that the RB clear.gif image might represent erased and residual.

Second my own attempt to load this sub optimal 1×1 pixel transparent image into my own RB account.

On loading the image it (quite obviously) did not appear (being transparent), but nonetheless my RB home page displayed a full size thumbnail. This had me thinking about what might then happen if I replaced the image with a 1×1 black pixel. When I did exactly that, I discovered the thumbnail presented was still the standard RB 135×135 pixels, in effect a 135 times magnification of the original image. I then had the idea to (once again – I have done this several times) use the entire RB home page to record a single conceptual work, the question was how to fill the nine image thumbnail slots. It seemed immediately obvious that the eight base colours (I have used many times in previous work) would conveniently fill eight of the nine slots, leaving just one. This final slot would then be used to record the fact of the home page by recursively including the image of the home page.

So there we have it a new conceptual outcome."
