Hi,
Before leaping into this perhaps we should ask for a visual example of what we are discussing?
Can the sender of the original email send an example either by a link, cutting and pasting, or
with an attachment.

Although the thing you're describing is visual in nature I'm wondering if you're not actually referring to the phenomenon of "concrete poetry". See http://infinityskitchen.com/blog/concrete-poetry/ for example.

For the nerds among us, there is the subset of ASCII
Art - creating images using characters available on a computer keyboard. For
instance, here is Michelangelo's David: http://www.textfiles.com/art/david.art.
Though some images were large and elaborate, possibly even converted from
actual photos, much of the art was used in email signatues;
these cows were very popular: http://www.instinct.org/cows/ascii-cows1.html.

Hello,
I am not convinced that words like mosiac and collage should
be co-opted for this specific sub-section of artwork that you are asking about.
Here are my thoughts: I have studied Chinese painting and wish that I had
written my thesis proving that the Chinese masters inspired the European
impressionists. This work that you are describing feels like a modern take on
impressionism, pointalism, and the like. Chuck Close was not the first person to
create pixelated artwork (that's a way to describe it) - but he did inspire
the commercial craze of creating images that are composed of smaller,
individual images.
Why create a word when you can just describe them that
way?
Please also check out the work of Ayakoh Furukawa. see
the "Text Drawing" section of her website: http://www.ayakohfurukawa.net/ . This
work is described by her galleries as text-based
drawing.

I'm hoping that the
collective wisdom of arlis colleagues will have an answer to this: I've been
trying to find examples of images or drawings where the image, perhaps a face
or figure, is made up of multiples of small images like letters, words, or
figures, etc. Is there a term or label for such images? Or a more precise
description for them? If you can point me to any examples, or names of artists
(probably graphic artists in advertising or commercial art?), I would
appreciate it. Kathy Zimon
