Abstract:
Pixel art is a kind of digital art that through per-pixel manipulation
enables production of a diverse array of artistic images. In this paper, we
present a new way for people to experience and express pixel art. Our
digital art consists of a set of sticks made of acrylate resin, each of
which refracts light from a parallel light source, in certain directions.
Artistic users are able to easily rearrange these sticks and view their
digital art through the refracted light projection on any planar surface.
As we demonstrate in this paper, a user can generate various artistic
images using only a single set of sticks. We additionally envision that our
pixel art with rearrangeable sticks would have great entertainment appeal,
e.g., as an art puzzle.
