The Icon Project

The Icon Project is an ongoing project. Here, I want to play with the meaning of the word “Icon”. When referred to computers and the internet, an icon is a little image made of 16X16 pixels, while in culture, an icon is a character which is relevant for a specific reason. The aim of this project is to realize a series of these icons as interventions in the public space. The media is the mosaic, where each tile represents one pixel. Above: a painting of Che Guevara, 40X40cm, Acrylic on canvas.
