What is the lowest resolution image that is still recognisable? I made a space invader craft project at one point and spent a bunch of time wondering if I had enough materials.

I have a fondness for visible pixelation: pixel art, bitmap fonts, displays with large LEDs. It's a medium that's distinctly technological. I can display high resolution photos or realistic graphics on a modern device, but it's less distinct. The medium doesn't affect the msg.

Really impressive result: using generative adverserial networks to increase the resolution of videos! Abstract: https://ge.in.tum.de/publications/2019-tecogan-chu/ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZXFXtfd-Ak
