PorTraits



This started as an experiment on how to program and explore ways to replicate/replace images, with words.
The script replicates the image by attributing words to pixels, retrieving the color of the image in that precise pixel and scaling the word according to it's luminosity in at same area of the image.

In the 1st drawing, the script was written to array one single word along the whole image.
The word chosen was "fraude"(i.e."fraud" ).




For the 2nd drawing, the script is arraying 5 different words/sentences in a randomized way along the image.
The words are from the song "Liberdade", from 1974, and arrayed over another image.




RECENT EXPERIMENTS
This image was worked from picture taken with a Lomo FishEye.
Scanned, ran the script, printed in 12 A3 and pasted on the wall at home.
The script is displaying randomly 6 words of a certain sentence.
