'Streets, Blocks and Neighborhood' by Björn Sjögren; Sjögren’s creations, inspired by his experiences, are mingled with a type of Scandinavian design simplicity. Starting in 1987 with the idea that an image could be built by using dots, waves and lines, Sjögren developed a process of constructing art from pixels, which was a unique concept at the time. He also places the title beneath the image to let the words interact with the design above and allow the viewer’s brain to produce the full picture.
