AA Lines
We create an image out of relations. We think in symbols, metaphors and conceptions. The computer uses the pixel as a unit to form images we can interpret. It doesn't use meaning, ideas or semiotics to articulate. Just color and position. The boundaries of a pixel get very clear in a microscopic view. Even when the computer gets a clear formula of a line, it is unable to display it with just one pixel. With every pixel added to the matrix, the image gets clearer. There is an algorithm which helps to clean the edges of straight pixel images. It is called anti-aliasing. But like the computer itself it has its limitations due to the concept of fragmentation. With this project I want to show the difference between a line and the computerized display of it.
