Fraser Valley students stick it to Mario 3
I get buried in emails on a daily basis, but every so often I manage to sludge through them and find a diamond in the rough. What you’re looking at it is a 17,000 push-pin mosaic mural, a product of three revisions and a total of two and a half semesters of work. The final revision took a whopping two months of work by the CIS Student Association at the University of the Fraser Valley, and it’s currently sitting in the Student Computing Center over there.
You’d think I’d be able to relate to these college kids, but I can’t even remember when I’ve had enough free time to do something so crafty! You can check past the break for a few more photos, but be sure to check out Ranadok’s Flickr profile for more. Thanks to Robert for the heads up!

[...] Eerlijk is eerlijk: ik wist niet meer dat ze bestonden. Punaises. Je weet wel, die kleine priegeldingen, waarmee je dingen papieren vastprikt op een prikbord. Tegenwoordig heb je vrijwel alleen nog maar magnetische borden. Studenten van de universiteit van Fraser Valley vinden het maar niets dat de punaise bijna uitsterft en hebben een gigantisch kunstwerk gemaakt met het kleine huishulpje. Het mozaïek bestaat uit 17.000 punaises en laat een scene uit Super Mario Bros. 3 zien. De studenten deden er enkele maanden over om het kunstwerk te maken. Prachtig! Meer foto’s vind je hier. [...]
