San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 2, 2008 -- Mosaic studio, Exactmosaics, introduced high-definition stone mosaics created by using the natural marbling within stone. By using the natural striations and veining within the stone, the company's mosaics achieve greater detail per stone than the commonly seen "pixel tile mosaics".
Nick Berg and Alan Roth founded the studio in 2006 after they discovered ways to apply modern artificial intelligence software to the ancient art of mosaic making. They create these mosaics by photographing millions of tiles that are made from natural materials. Next, Berg and Roth evaluate the shape, texture, and colors within each tiles using proprietary technology. Finally, each stone piece is individually selected and hand-placed to compose the larger image.
Co-founder, Alan Roth claims that the mosaics are another example of technology allowing designers to transcend human limitations. "Ancient mosaic artists could not have achieved the visual detail of an Exactmosaic piece because they faced human limitations in memory capacity", says Roth. "In fact, a mosaic artist in ancient Rome would have needed perfect visual recall of several thousand stones to render the same level of detail."
Exactmosaics will be a first time exhibitor at SURFACES 2008. SURFACES is a major convention for the floor covering industry with annual attendance of over 40,000 retailers, builders, architects, and designers. The exhibition will be at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV from January 30th to February 1st 2008. Exactmosaics will be displaying its latest mosaics, including a breathtaking large-scale mosaic of the San Francisco skyline. The Exactmosaics booth will be #G2658 in Hall G (inside the Handcrafted Tile Pavilion).
The Society of American Mosaic Artists selected artwork by Nick Berg and Alan Roth (Co-founders of Exactmosaics) for inclusion in the 2008 Mosaic Arts International Juried Exhibition. This year, SAMA received entries from 180 artists. Exactmosaics' "Lotus Green Flower" was one of only 64 mosaics that the jury selected for inclusion in the show.
