About the Item

Arugula, Spinach, Tomato, Edible Flowers (Redbud, Calendula) - Every Unique Pixel Color (419,260) Plotted by RGB Value, 2021 Edition of 10 Signed, titled, dated and numbered. Pigment print on cotton rag Paper size: 30 x 24 in. The Pixel Cloud drawings are 3 dimensional graphs of each unique pixel color in a digital photograph. Using statistical software, Stuart Allen exports the red, green and blue values of every pixel in a photograph to a data file. This dataset is reduced to a set of unique color occurrences, and these pixels are plotted in 3D space along 256-step red, green and blue axes. Dotted gray lines define the plot boundaries. The artist rotates the Pixel Cloud about its three axes to find the most compelling view. The work’s title describes the content of the source photograph and the number of unique pixel colors.
