What Is This?

The British artist David Marsh has devised a clever way to combine his two favourite things — Adobe design software Pantone colour swatches and album cover art — with a nod to Pointillism. Each finished piece uses 1369 Pantone swatches to recreate a pixelated version of some of the most famous album artwork of the past half-century.

Is this scorched protrusion a robot genital wart? A satellite fragment? A melting CPU? Keep guessing!

Are these geodes? Is that a view from inside Hef’s grotto? Kate Bush’s brainmap? Nope! None of the above.

Is that a stained glass window dedicated to man’s excess? Nope. A MoMA exhibit capturing our disposable lifestyles? Sorry. A corporate logo treatment for a recycling facility? Not exactly, but it is related to turning trash into something beautiful.

Is that a proton torpedo exploding through space? Nah. Maybe the world’s most incredibly unsafe powerline crackling in the night sky? Or how about a CGI bit from The Hobbit? Well, no, but close. It has to do with a dragon, see.

Is this a power pack? Nah. A pico projector? Nope. Is it a cube? It claims to be, but it looks more like a rectangular prism to me. Will it really redefine an entire category? Looks aside, we’re not so sure about that, but Logitech sure thinks it will. So what is this thing?

This isn’t the teeth of a machine, the chainmail shirt your cousin uses for larping, nor the DNA sequence of Justin Bieber’s love child.
