The First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874 was a significant failure, with artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas criticized harshly by viewers and critics alike. Despite only attracting 3,500 visitors, many dismissed the artworks as base and unfinished. A decade later, Georges Seurat created 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,' a monumental piece that utilized the pointillism technique. This painting serves as a bridge to the film 'Total Pixel Space,' which discusses pixels as fundamental elements of digital images, connecting classic art forms to modern technology.
"Pixels are the building blocks of digital images, tiny tiles forming a mosaic. Each pixel is defined by numbers representing color and position."
"Each image could be unraveled, deconstructed into individual dots-the pixels of an analog age. There's a direct throughline between Seurat and the Impressionists and Total Pixel Space."
