Photosynthetic Photography: Pixels are Blades of Grass

That’s not a just any blurry photograph – in fact, it’s not made from either computer pixels or grains of silver halide, but blades of grass!

Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey of Santa Barbara Museum of Art created photosynthetic "photograph" by letting different amount of lights through on a field of growing grass.

    This is beautiful! It reminds me of two things.
    1. The amusing practice of writing obscenities in a lawn with weedkiller (a school prank)
    2. That picture of a lawn in front of a curved glass building, that had a big scorched streak across it where the building had focussed the sun. Woops.
