"Certainly it is always fascinating to experience,
Like a perceived overall picture
On closer inspection, turns out to be the sum of individual images.
But when looking at the individual images, the human eye exhausts very quickly,
Because it is constantly the edges of a chessboard pattern
Of at least 2,500 individual images.
Often, it does not matter whether the single image fits into the entirety of the theme -
Main feature it fits formally (color or brightness).
Thus, the classic photomosaics quickly get stuck in the superficial aha effect.
The MOSAPAINT® (mosaic painting) I developed is based on the Fotomosaik.
In addition to the "effect", the conceptual approach,
To truly perceive the individual images and to capture them as "important components" of the whole.
For example, a MOSAPAINT® comes. With only 30 individual images.
Nevertheless, the overall picture remains recognizable (Porsche license motif, see appendix).
This is achieved by the "picturesque fusion" of the individual images
From different sources such as (photo, film or graphics)
At this point, computer algorithms are replaced by human intuition and craftsmanship.
A virtuoso variable transparency of the picture elements leads to several viewing scenes
While the Fotomosaik is limited to two levels.
The "Timeline"
Justifies the current and future pragmatic dominance of MOSAPAINT®.
The individual image elements can thus be aligned with a time beam.
This is the only way to show a story in pictures.
A MOSAPAINT® creates what is actually only a film is able to perform. "
(Jo Berghammer 2011)
The painterly touch of his MOSAPAINT® technology is realized by Jo Berghammer with the help of a digital pen and a DIN A3 WACOM tablet.
Here is a product of youthful love for the pencil and the Beatles from the year 1971.
Well ... not a masterpiece - but in connection with his HIGHRES-photography an essential artisan prerequisite of today's collages.
