Interactive Photographic Mosaics
These are interactive mosaics. Each cell in these mosaics can tell you a small story. In the most simple case if you click on the mosaic it just displays the row and column of the cell and the name of the used image. In more advanced artworks you may see much more information. There can be thumbnail previews, large original images can be expanded in full screen, there could be internet links for connected sites and so on. Also, these mosaics allow you to search through images by text or keywords.
Each example opens in a separate window.
