Norbert Bayer aka
"Mister Ministeck" is known for his notorious pixelextravaganza
and has created an unexpected renaissance of an almost forgotten technique:
The mosaic.
|
The pieces are based on a popular German childrens' toy: The Ministeck system. It is connotative of the livingroom aesthetics of the 70ies, but it also is rich of connotations to pixelated early computer and video games. The image below is a detail from one of Bayer's relief sculptures that refers to Super Mario Bros.
