Game Art: Catarina Lente and Luisa Lente's "8-bit Artists" (2013)

A while ago it was about action figures of famous artists (3.g., Mark levitt's scultpures, Art Army). The new aesthetic is all about pixels. Here are three examples: Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dali created by Yoyo, a small studio located in Barcelona, Spain, by Catarina Lente and Luisa Lente. These portraits are actually puzzle games as they comprise 360 small square vinyl adhesives.

"Specialized in Graphic Design, Product and Web, in 2004 they found the design company Yoyo in Barcelona, Spain. After years of work and many different projects, it is with pixel-projects that they imagine what it would be like to lift the pixelized universe from the screen into the real world. Composing in pixel is not solitary work in the computer anymore, but rather a game, a pixel puzzle, where both of them can intervene pixel by pixel and where everything is possible." (YoYo)
