I love photo-mosaics. I find them fascinating.
Some nice photography by Chris Jordan that uses them as info-graphics to highlight American consumptive behaviour.

Best idea we’ve had so far? A very ornate, pen and ink drawing on the Dostoyevsky of some beautiful letterforms spelling out “I’m a pretentious twat” (in Russian).
PingPongPixel is an interactive art piece that builds lo-res representations of submitted images from balls of 6 different shades of grey. Check the video above, and you’ll get the idea.
