Description
ASCIIImage aims at creating an online tool to generate ASCII art from jpg images uploaded by its visitors. This net-art work discusses the intersections of words and images by implementing an algorithm that recognizes luminance of different areas of an image translating the resulting values to characters with different pixel densities, thus creating a textual representation of the original file.
