pixelated walls - fine art on the throne.

christoph niemann, from nytimes.blog, has another good post up, this time on his recent decision to remodel his bathroom with his wife.
with their love for fine art, they decided to use famed fine art pieces for the decor of the tiling on the walls and floor.
the process in which they go through, from titian to rothko, is a journey through art history, but their particular perspective (whether or not these pieces will have power when pixelated through 4 x 4 inch tiles) puts and interesting twist on things.

it brought about some thoughts for me

- what era's art will be most appreciated in a post apocalyptic world in which we are dominated by computers, but reduced to a 16 bit world?


- what kind of art will i appreciate while shaving / showering / dropping kids of at the pool ?
