Tiles of the Oceans
Aquaria de Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal

A tile mural some five stories high graces the most visible sideof the Lisbon Aquarium. From a distance it appears to depict almost photographic images of marine life. Viewed close-up, the images dissolve, becoming an abstract tapestry of classic Portuguese ceramic tile patterns.

Over 54,000 individual tiles were used to make up the computer-analyzed pixilated images.
