| "I really want to emphasize that if someone else had my technology, the images they would make would be completely different, just like two different photographers with a camera or two different painters with a paintbrush. Photomosaics is a medium. When photography started, people didn‘t think it was art. Painters were, like, that‘s not art, you‘re just capturing reality." | | "In fact, in the early days of photography, people were just working on the process of capturing an image, and they didn‘t spend as much time on the content. Similarly, once I perfected Photomosaics, I started thinking about content and putting messages in it." | | "Photomosaics can‘t be defined as either art or not art. It‘s just a medium, but it‘s certainly a rich enough medium that you can make art in it." |
