ASCII Scream is a binary version of the Scream coded from the original lithograph into ASCII format. The original lithograph is converted into binary format by an algorithm, originating a digital version of the artwork composed entirely overlapping 1s and 0s.
ASCII Scream captures the essence of Munch’s original work through the lens of computer technology. The unsettling visual effect, evoking the sense of angst, is achieved by slightly offsetting the red, green, and blue binary layers, with some layers left uncoloured. This digital portrayal is a testament to the intersection of art and technology, where machine coding brings a new perspective to a classic piece.
Each digital Ordinal artwork comes with an optional large giclée print. Prints are available only for one month after release.
Each physical piece is linked to a digital artwork inscribed on Ordinals, connected to the original lithograph and Asprey Studio’s version using parent-child inscription, pioneering a new method to trace provenance of the physical and digital piece.
5 different variations are available.
