Description

Pixel Rug is an ongoing experiment in digital image-making that operates at the level of the pixel. Since 2021, Travess Smalley has developed the project across formats—NFTs, plotter drawings, Minecraft assets, woven textiles, and even a Game Boy slideshow—using custom scripts alongside manual editing in Photoshop to test how digital processes can produce tactile, perceptual complexity.

Through this sustained investigation, Smalley turns the simplest digital unit into a site of aesthetic inquiry, using code and handwork to probe how perception, pattern, and computation converge in contemporary image-making.
