Hello.
It's been a long time since I've done any art and even longer since I've done pixel art, but I've been wondering about pixel art--or pixel art aesthetic--outside of the pixel art world as we know it here, with the general focus on video-gameness. Maybe as an aesthetic that references the digital world or something. I don't know. The only stuff that I think of that's anything like this is
http://superbrothers.ca/, which I happen to like a lot. Does anyone know about art out there that may not be so connected to the underground pixel art thing going on here and in the indie games scene, maybe even paintings in art galleries or something, that references the pixel? I'd be surprised if there wasn't any...
Not that I think that stuff would be better or anything than the stuff here--I have a load of problems with the conceptual art world--but I think it'd be interesting to look at some pixel art, even loosely defined, that comes from a completely different angle than here.
