Komachin '96 by David Joyce

Artist David Joyce created this unique digital mural for Komachin Middle School in Lacey, Washington. From a distance, the image appears to be a large conventional photograph. Close inspection reveals, however, that it's actually a mosaic comprised of thousands of pictures (15,552 to be exact) of school students and staff. The work, which was entirely produced using digital technology, was a percent for art commission administered through the Washington State Arts Commission.

David Joyce (1946-2003) was an instructor of media and fine arts at Lane Community College for 25 years, 1976-2001.
