Rubiks Cubism
Similar to the conversion of an analogue picture to a digital picture on a television, the original image is transformed by pixellation into a number of squares (either with 104 or 476 cubes thats 936 or 4284 squares) with each square being one of six colours taken from a Rubik’s cube.

I'd like to thank all of my family and friends for keeping their eyes and ears open for Rubik's in the media. An immense thank you to Rachel Gray who on 7th November 2009 wrote me a simple message:
Hi,
I enjoy bothering people with random links I find, and this one seemed quite relevant to you (I remember you bringing your collection to a Numerical Analysis lecture a few years ago!), so...
