Description

This digital exhibition uses an open-source software system Daniel Temkin has built over many years to explore dithering, a process invented in the early days of digital graphics to make images look smoother when display systems were limited to smaller color palettes. Dithering works by strategically placing the pixels that make up a digital image into patterns that give the illusion of more shades or tones.
