In my thesis I present my work on automatically and semi-automatically converting high resolution images into an output that approximates the manual results of pixel artists. This is a multi-step, iterative algorithm that simultaneously solves for a palette and a mapping of segments of the input image to pixels in the output. The proposed tools gives the user flexible influence on the output and the ability to work anywhere between a purely automated and purely manual process.

"Flyfire serves as an initial step to explore and imagine the possibilities of this free-form display: a swarm of pixels in a space."
