I took my father to see the original in Tokyo today. It's a sight to behold and worth a look next time you're here. You can also watch a Sumo match nearby.

It must have been a thrill to see a PowerBook 100!

#43I love how it’s still beautiful…
"Return of the Obra Dinn" game gives similar vibes.
The author, Lucas Pope, went into deep detail describing the dithering process and shader used in Return of the Obra Dinn. It's outstanding work.

#44Bill Atkinson of Apple developed a new dithering algorithm for early Macs. I wonder if it was used for this rendering.

Hokusai (1760 - 1849) also did tentacle porn NSFW art - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream_of_the_Fisherman%2... Book - https://pulverer.si.edu/node/277/title
Damn! That's super cool. I have shown the wave to my kids but I often tell them that artists are not always what we know of them. This is a superb demonstration ! Thanks for posting ! (usually I'd use l' "origine du monde" by Courbet)

#46When I have a bit of time, I'll compare dither algorithms to that human version. Would be cool to see how they compare !

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
This seems to be because Firefox has no way to disable text antialiasing (whereas Safari and Chrome support -webkit-font-smoothing), so Firefox is trying to antialias a pixel font which just looks weird
Nope, I'm using Chromium.
Digging into it, it looks like the various CSS font smoothing selectors only work on macOS, not Linux or Windows.

#49When viewing the site in Firefox, the font in the paragraphs has a very subtle rainbow effect. Here's a screenshot of it zoomed in: https://i.imgur.com/ir0MmPq.png I was wondering how they achieved that effect, but it doesn't seem intentional. It's not part of the CSS, and I only see it in FF, doesn't happen in Chrome. It goes away if I switch fonts, it looks like it's some weird result of how Firefox renders the sit…
On your screenshot I can only see the fonts aren't quite sharp, the rainbow effect is probably from your display trying to render these subpixel differences.

I thought he made and sold many prints of each piece, so that identifying the original one wouldn't really be possible.
