this is a "copy" of an original 64px by 64px pixel-medium "painting" that i created in pixen (there is no dpaint soft for modern apple computers) for a friend of mine. i used to work as a pixel monkey/pusher back in the early 90's and the world of blocks, cubes, pixel, and isometry became ingrained in me.
overall pixel is just another medium- tool, but i do enjoy playing with those little bits of electric squares.
ultimately art is a byproduct of observation, collected experience, the dynamic of everything that exists at the point of its(art) creation. this piece, at 64x64px would not garner much attention in a gallery. could it even be displayed in a gallery "effectively." how would you sell pixel art at actual pixel size and format(electronic file)? as it is this image has been blown up substantially to be displayed at an general-appreciative size. can you imagine patrons walking around a huge gallery-space squinting at small monitors displaying pixel art in the only way it truly can be displayed (by monitor)? it is no longer actual pixel art if it is printed or enlarged or otherwise represented.
art is. art that sells is defined by that result. art that is famous is defined by that result.
art is a fart. a byproduct. appreciation and awareness define it otherwise.
