If you have been following my blog for a while, you know my obsession with the intersection of art and technology goes way back. In fact, I actually wrote one of my very first posts about online photo mosaic software back in 2020! It is crazy to think about how much the digital landscape has shifted since then. While tech like AI art generators and SketchBots have taken center stage in recent years, there is still something so timeless about a classic mosaic.
You know I love staying on top of the coolest new trends in art and tech. Whether it’s a robot that can draw my picture or a huge photo mosaic on a jumbotron, if it’s creative, I’m all in! But nothing has grabbed my attention (and imagination) like the recent boom in generative Ai.

Recently I came across an artist, Sergej Stoppel, that opened a design studio centered around drawing algorithms and robotics. With the help of his pen plotter named Karel, Sergej converts portraits into different forms of dot and line art. While experimenting with his style he created line art portrait mosaics.
