PROJECT: Text-image






At this stage of my project, I decided to explore different ways to view pictures and I came across Text-image.com. It converts images into text, which I found interesting and unique. The converter itself is written in Pike, and works by analysing the image's pixels and printing a character with the same colour. I once again chose Gustav Klimt’s ‘tree of life’ as it is relevant to what I am trying to interpret. I was slightly disappointed with the results as the image appears in tiny pixels of text rather than actual words. However unique I much rather Tagxedo, although it doesn’t use real pictures, shapes and text are used, which I am interested in and will have to explore further.
