Robert Silvers invented a form of mosaic that could be called a cousin to pointallism. Each picture consists of hundreds of tiny photographs.He starts with a picture, breaking it down in tiny pixals. He substitutes each pixal for a full photo which has the same value and color as the original pixal.
When viewed close up, Robert Silvers' pictures look like thousands of images. But when viewed from a distance, we see the images as colors, creating a larger overall picture. Just as Seurat relied on the viewer to blend his dots together with their mind's eye, Robert Silvers asks his viewers to blend the tiny photos together into one large image.
