Spelling With Pictures

Sometimes pictures are worth a thousand words … sometimes they’re worth just one letter. Sad but true.

But it also gives some really cool spelling opportunities. Check out this little site that allows you to spell anything out using photographs. You can choose amongst a few images for each letter, but in general you have little choice as to what images spell out the words.

But in a meta-image sense, would this be considered art? Are you the artist? Is a collage not the same thing, but this time the pictures making up the piece of art are chosen at random. Imagine if someone cut up all sorts of catalogues for you, mixed all the images up, and asked you to pick randomly from piles to spell a word. I’m willing to bet someone would consider one of the two of you an artist.

Isn’t digital life fun?!
