You enter a gallery with a huge pixel art piece hanged on the wall. You look at the artwork:

Tribute, Matej Jan (2005, 2012)

To the south there are people raving frantically about it on Facebook, Twitter and G+:

The door at the side takes you to the history room with work in progress shots of the artwork. You look at the video projection, detailing the creation process:

You see a control panel with video choices:

You see Retro, the author of the piece. You ask him about the history behind the image:

"This artwork was initially created as a cover of Joker Magazine in 2005 and adapted into a poster a month later. However, there was a lot of unused space left due to time constraints.

My life then took a turn away from drawing as I focused on programming. I graduated from computer science in September 2011 and decided to return to this old pixel art piece. In the following couple of months I slowly added in my more recent sources of inspiration to produce the completed Tribute poster."

While strolling around the gallery, you notice there is a special edition version of the poster:

Retro says: "I had a local printer create a special print for me on canvas. It turned out so great I decided to run a little special edition, signed and numbered by yours truly, color corrected to perfectly match the digital version. It even sports a seriously cool black border to match your level of awesomeness if you own one of these rad pieces of pixel art cult and nostalgia.

These were a blast to send out to every corner of the Earth. I am so thankful to everyone who bought my first print. Their names will be forever engraved in this html thingy!"

Below you see a list of all the amazing cool people that have one of these at home.

BAT - bon à tirer (good to print), master image against which the members of the edition are compared for quality. P/E - pruebas de estado (trial proof), one of the unique prints with very slight color variation from the final master of the edition. H/C - hors de commerce (not for sale), print is a gift. S/D - sans de Diablo (without Diablo), religion-friendly version without references to Blizzard's games.

At the end of this experience, you feel as your pixels tingle in the wind. Your gain +1 level to nostalgia.
