A new Hitachi IEP Class 800 in Platform 1 overshadowing a forty-something-year-old Class 43 HST in Platform 2 at Paddington station.
JPEG 8 x 8 pixellated style after Thomas Ruff, "JPEG" series of photographs, see for example elephant.art/thomas-ruffs-jpeg/ or www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/jun/11/my-best-shot....
The style illustrates the working at low resolution of the 8 x 8 discrete cosine transform algorithm used in JPEGs, and the way the algorithm emphasises the basic colour or strong lines within each block ...for those of you with a technical mind!!! As for the artistic effect - obscuring, impressionistic, veiling, and a reminder of the all-pervasive Internet that mediates and informs our contemporary world view, including your current view of this image.
