Chris Reilly, "Flat Self Portrait (Preparation for Entering an Abstract Landscape/Something I’ve Always Wanted to Do)", inkjet print, 32″x32″, 2007
"One of a series of self-portraits that are the product of preparing a model of myself for insertion into a 3D, first-person shooter video game. This image is a flattened version of the facial image texture that is applied to the 3D geometry of my avatar’s head. The format matches that of facial texture images used in commercial video games."
