When nothing is on TV and I have exhausted my channel surfing abilities, I sometimes turn to YouTube and web my way deeper and deeper from one video to the next. Keeping on the theme of mosaics, I happened to stumble upon a video from one of my favorite shows: Mythbusters. It is from a few years back, but nevertheless still very cool!
In a nutshell, hosts, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, try to graphically demonstrate the difference between CPU and GPU by creating a paintball mosaic of Mona Lisa (I am still trying figure out the metaphor). The mosaic was painted in a very impressive 275 milliseconds using a one-of-a-kind 1100 barrel paint ball gun.
Be sure to give it a quick watch. And most importantly, be sure not to blink – you’ll miss the whole thing.
