RGB Grid

These images are made up of the numeric values that represent the levels of red, green and blue in each pixel of the source image. The idea was that since RGB values run from 0 (black) to 255 (white) - and since 0 takes up less physical space than 255, the source image would still be visible in a matrix of values. For sources I used images that represent legal decisions that have defined "fair use" in the visual arts.
