Images of Meisje met de Pare - Johanes Vermeer Originally the background was green, not black. This was discovered in recent renovation. See - you can’t really trust originals. The painting is the first painting to be scanned by high-resolution microscope creating an image consisting of 93,205 x 108,565 pixels - the first 10 billion pixel image of a painting. My version is made of 30 or so images copy-pasted off the internet and so is significantly smaller.
The common criticism of NFTs is ‘well I can just right click and save as’. Who actually does actually that? Why would you and if you do what are you getting?
Well I did. I searched for loads of images of paintings, right clicked and saved as; and then overlayed them into a composite. I kept the crop, frame, chromatic aberration, resolution; lens curvature, vignetting, people in front queuing, the memes, the low res. file format - it’s all in there.
The fact is, in the 21st century, many of us experience images on screens more than on walls and don’t visit galleries. Originals are relatively pointless, they’re something we’re unlikely to see in the flesh and even less likely to own.
This is a new set of occasional works made from found images, copies of originals, images in film, photos in magazines, even holiday snaps.
Multiples of 10.
