PixelText

art, pixeltext, projects

PixelText is a content visualization concept to translate each unique word from the targeted text (e.g. books, lyrics, poems) to a color (specified or random) and then display the word as a pixel in order as they appeared in the original text. Simply put, translate these words to pixels. The hope is to create novel and compelling art from sources that already possess meaning as well as possibly provide a new perspective on the text.

The image above represents the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. The palette was determined at random. Many different texts, versions, ratios, and palettes have been experimented with to yield something at the least interested. Additional experiments shared below.
