Can you tell what this is?
poin·til·lism
ˈpwaNtēˌyizəm,ˈpointlˌizəm/
noun
A technique of neo-impressionist painting using tiny dots of various pure colors, which become blended in the viewer’s eye. It was developed by Georges Seurat with the aim of producing a greater degree of luminosity and brilliance of color.
Was not correct about what it was. I knew it wasn’t a close up of a Seurat or Signac painting as I’ve seen close ups of those, and guessed maybe an image through a microscope of some common element. Didn’t consider a view through a telescope. Love this picture of the universe – it makes me look thin.
I guess it’s an infrared scan of the ground with earthworms crawling through. Now I’ll go see if I was right…
