I add:
The light collected by our digital camera's lens is filtered into Red, Green, and Blue components. Each component of light is directed to it's own sensor chip. The way these are combined leads to an imitation of the stream of light flowing to our eyes by the objects being viewed. The stream of light is more like a collection of individual particles coming to our eyes. Each particle is called a photon. It has a unique wavelength, that we perceive as a specific color. Pointillism attempts to use the physics of vision in the real world of individual photons.
