This is an enlarged rendering of “The Mona Lisa”’s face. When seen with the aid of viewing spheres, distorted views of The Mona Lisa’s smile mimic “low spatial frequencies” usually seen only with peripheral vision. 5184 spools of thread & aluminum ball chain were used to create this master-piece.
A life sized rendering of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” constructed from 20,736 spools of thread strung onto aluminum ball chain. When seen with the aid of optical devices, the spools of thread coalesce into realistic images of Christ and his disciples. When seen with the naked eye, the spools of thread appear as an abstract arrangement of multi-colored blocks/3D pixels, further abstracted by the fact that The Last Supper imagery is upside down and backwards. The clear acrylic viewing spheres rotate the imagery 180 degrees back to the correct orientation and condense the individual pixels/spools of thread into recognizable images. In addition, the spheres offer monocular views of the work, accentuating the illusion of 3 dimension as it exists in flat paintings.

Using internet is simple as hell. But I can tell y ou right now, it can be very hard, if you are the first time user.
So, first thing I suggest - open the Explorer, and type in the address you like.
You’ll get there really fast, it depends on your connection speed.
Good luck.
