8-bit inspired “Stolen Jewels” by Mike and Maaike.
An exploration of tangible vs. virtual in relation to real and perceived value. Using Google image search we browsed through some of h most expensive and often famous jewelry in the world, the low-res images we found were stolen, doctored, then transferred to leather, creating a tangible new incarnation. With the expense and intricacy of the jewels stripped away, their essence and visual intensity are extracted.
