Produced in collaboration with Samira Gagné Ludwin of Maman Rugs (Los Angeles) and woven by Shanti Sunita Aparna of Nitya Exports (Bhadohi Nagar Palika, Uttar Pradesh, India), Pixel Rugs is a series of computer-generated images programmed by Smalley responding to the concepts of creating pixel art, dithering textures, and anti-aliasing in digital images.
Over the past year, the series of hundreds of procedurally generated Pixel Rugs have materialized as an exhibition of plotter drawings; modded game assets in Minecraft; NFTs; a playable GameBoy cartridge containing an interactive slideshow essay; and now as a series of six unique handwoven rugs.
